Kinyongia uthmoelleri and Trioceros quadricornis gracilor have red claws.
Trioceros goetzei (Goetze’s Chameleon) emits an audible, high pitched whistle when threatened.
The largest chameleon species by weight is Calumma parsonii (Parson’s Chameleon).
Chameleons have a high midichlorian count.
The word Kinyongia is from the Swahili word for chameleons: Kinyonga.
The word Rhampholeon is taken from the Latinized Greek “rhamphos leon” meaning crawling lion.
True chameleons include the following genera: Archaius, Bradypodion, Brookesia, Calumma, Chamaeleo, Furcifer, Kinyongia, Nadzikambia, Palleon, Rhampholeon, Rieppeleon and Trioceros.
The word Chamaeleo is derived via Latin from the Greek word khamaileon. It roughly translates to ground lion. Khamai means on the ground and leon means lion.
Chameleons have a very poor sense of smell.
Pygmy chameleons have bicuspid claws where each claw has two points like a crescent moon.
