  1. Chamaeleo

    Chamaeleo is a genus of chameleons found primarily in the mainland of sub-saharan Africa, but a few species are also present in northern Africa, southern Europe and southern Asia east to India and Sri Lanka. They are slow moving with independently movable eyes, the ability to change skin colouration, long tongue, prehensile tail and special leg adaptations for grasping vegetation. Males are generally larger and more colorful than females. Almost all species have a maximum length between 15 and 40 centimetres. The vast majority are arboreal and typically found in trees or bushes, but a few species are partially or largely terrestrial. The genus includes only oviparous species. With few exceptions, the chameleons most commonly seen in captivity are all members of Chamaeleo, notably the Common, Senegal and Veiled chameleons, but even they require special care.
