Chameleons (Wildlife Monographs)

The chameleon is one of the most fascinating lizards. Its famous ability to change colour is often exaggerated, but many tree-dwelling species match the colour of leaves, and may sway gently to enhance the leaf-like effect. The long tongue-often as long as the chameleon's body - darts out to snatch prey to feed a voracious appetite. This book considers why chameleons look and behave the way they do and what the future holds for them. AUTHOR: Nick Garbutt has contributed to Chameleons as an author.
