Chameleons are squamets that belong to one of the best-known lizard famalies.The name chameleon means (Earth lion) and it's the latinized form of the Ancient Greek (khamaileon) crawling lion , from (khamai) on the earth , on the ground.
What an interesting reptile this is! The Chameleon was introduced to Malta from North Africa in the 19th century. It has adapted well in the Maltese country side. It has two colours. One a greyish brown (just like tree branches) and another Green (Just like leaves) it does this so it not be seen easily, what we call camouflage. It likes to eat insects like flies.
