Veiled Chameleon

A tree-dwelling color-shifting sharpshooter/Small Animals

The veiled chameleon can change color in seconds, rotate each eye independently through 180 degrees, and launch its tongue at prey at accelerations exceeding 40 g. The tongue is roughly twice its body length. Males grow to about 60 cm from nose to tail. Despite the popular myth, chameleons change color primarily for communication and temperature regulation, not camouflage.
