Trioceros goetzei (Goetze’s Chameleon) emits an audible, high pitched whistle when threatened.
Chameleons do have taste buds on their tongue but overall they have a poor sense of taste.
Chameleons have a high midichlorian count.
There are currently 202 recognized chameleon species and 85 of them are found on the island of Madagascar.
The horns on a chameleon are made up of ringlike segments of inner bone covered by a hard keratin-like skin.
The process of shedding is called ecdysis.
The largest chameleon species by weight is Calumma parsonii (Parson’s Chameleon).
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.
The word Kinyongia is from the Swahili word for chameleons: Kinyonga.
Kinyongia uthmoelleri and Trioceros quadricornis gracilor have red claws.
