Best Answer

Chameleons, unlike some other species of lizard, cannot drop their tail voluntarily in order to provide a distraction for predators. Chameleon tails are prehensile, and used to grip tree branches, just like a fifth limb. They serve a quite different function from the tails of other lizards.
