Chameleon fossils have been found in central Europe and China, indicating they were once much more widespread than they are now.
Chameleons do not have external ears or a tympanic membrane, but they do have internal ears as well as degenerated middle ears. They do not hear well but they can detect low frequency sounds.
The word Kinyongia is from the Swahili word for chameleons: Kinyonga.
Kinyongia uthmoelleri and Trioceros quadricornis gracilor have red claws.
Trioceros schubotzi can be found at elevations as high as 4500m.
The word Bradypodion comes from the latin “bradus podos” or slow foot.
Chameleons do have taste buds on their tongue but overall they have a poor sense of taste.
The word Rhampholeon is taken from the Latinized Greek “rhamphos leon” meaning crawling lion.
Pygmy chameleons are sometimes referred to as False Chameleons. This term is actually incorrect and is in reference to anoles, particularly the Cuban False Anole.
The chameleon tongue accelerates towards its target at over 1642m per second. Chameleons rarely miss their intended food item.
