I'm a chameleon.
We are colorful lizards.
Where do you live?
We mostly live in Africa.
Some chameleons live in the desert.
But most live in African rain forests.
I like your colors!
We can change our colors to communicate.
Changing colors helps us stay hot or cool.
Our green skin helps us hide in trees.
You're a good climber.
Our toes help us grip branches.
Our tails help too.
We can wrap them around things.
What do chameleons eat?
We eat insects like crickets and grasshoppers.
Big chameleons eat other lizards and birds.
You have a long, sticky tongue!
We can shoot our tongues out fast. See?
We use our tongues to catch insects.
Do your eyes help you find food?
Yes. Our eyes work very well.
Each eye can move in a different direction.
So we can see two things at once.
There's a cricket. Yum!
Good-bye, Chameleon!
