Chameleons typically eat locusts, mantis, crickets, grasshopper and other insects, but larger chameleons sometimes eat small birds and other lizards. Certain chameleons consume small amounts of plant matter.

Chameleons can change their color to a specific environment to avoid being seen, called camouflage. They also live in trees and will sway while they walk so they look like leaves.

What is a chameleons hunting skills?

The chameleon can change its skin tone and colour to blend into its surroundings. You could say that, like a crocodile, the chameleon waits for its prey. In this case which would be a bug of some sort. Anyway, the chameleon will ambush its prey, waiting for an unexpecting bug to fly or craw past then BAM! The chameleon lashes out its tongue, which has a sticky sort of saliva on it. That sticks to the bug and the bug sticks to the tongue, the chameleon draws back its tongue as fast as it pushed it out and eats the bug!
