How is the color changing ability of chameleons an adaptation?
It helps these slow moving but very territorial and aggressive animals to communicate with one another across great distances.
Since chameleons do not change color to match their environment it is NOT related to camouflage. The basic 'resting colors' of many chameleons, as well as their shape and their way of moving, are adaptations that allow them to be unnoticed by predators.
