So they can blend in with their natural habitat and protect themselves from predators
Chameleons defend themselves by changing the colour of their body, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. This is called camouflage.
Chameleons have four legs for movement. They move around slowly, so they can make sure they can hear predators and protect themselves from them.
Chameleons protect themselves by change to the same color of the object they are sitting on, e.g. If a chameleon sit on a leaf which is green and the chameleon will change to green.
Changes skin color according to their surroundings to make themselves practically invisible, it is also the way they hunt.
They blend in with an object, which hides them from the predator.
Some animals have a special abillity, such as chameleons, called camoflauge. They can blend in with their surroundings to protect themselves. Some other animals can change colors when they are angry, etc.
Chameleons don't really change color on thier surroundings. They change color depending on thier mood and actions, how they feel.
