The skin colour helps the chameleon to camoflauge with its surroundings.
It only takes a chameleon a few milliseconds to change color. Despite popular belief, chameleons don't necessarily change color to match their background. In fact, chameleons change color to maintain a favorable body temperature since their bodies can't generate it's own body heat.
Chameleons use energy from the sun and special cells in their body to turn"invisible"or to camouflage.
Chameleons change their color primarily to advertise their mood, or send other messages to other chameleons. They also react to the temperature, becoming darker when it is cool, and lighter when it's warmer. Chameleons use colors to attract a mate, advertise dominance or anger, signal fear or stress, and for other purposes as well. A chameleon's colors are not under its conscious control, but change in response to its emotions or physical state. They do not and cannot deliberately change colors to match what is around them. Instead, many chameleons seek out plants to live in that look like THEM when they are in their resting colors.
No thing has a tongue the same length as its body. chameleons
The Jackson's chameleon can reach about twelve inches in length when measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. The adult chameleon has a tongue that is usually longer than the length of its body.
Some chameleon adaptations are:1. Eyes can move and focus independently and view two different images at the same time. 2. Skin pigment cells can change color depending on temperature, mood, and during breeding. Basically they communicate with other chameleons through slight color changes. It also makes it hard for predators to see it. 3. They can shoot out their tongue nearly a foot and catch an insect with incredible accuracy. 4. Behavioral adaption would be the manner in which the chameleon moves throughout vines and limbs. They move very slow, wavy, and precise so they appear to be leaves blowing in the wind. This makes them less less likely to be spotted by a predator.

Chameleons move like any other animal on earth in uses their parts in their brain that collects messages to move the body in which ever way they would like.
well it depends on what chameleon and what age it is. If it is 9 months about 7 inches. [it is bigger than self body] in is 2 inches less than its age
A tiger's (P. tigris) average body temperature is 37.5ºC or 99.5ºF.
Yes. Chameleons can not regenerate any of their body parts and are different to other lizards who can. It is cruel to cut off an animals body part just to see if it will grow back.
It helps in blend in the surrounding and camouflage to avoid being seen from predators.
