Chameleons are lizards that can change the color of their skin. Chameleons change color in response to their emotions. Sometimes they change color because of changes in light or heat, too.

Chameleons use their stretchy tongues to grab their prey quickly. They use their strong jaws to crush their food and then swallow it. Their tongues also help them slurp up water. When not in use, their tongues stay bunched up at the back of their mouths.
