Type
Male and female chameleons have differ-
ent coloring. Female and juvenile chame-
leons are tan-brown with bits of pink or
orange, while adult males have varying
combinations of bright red, green, blue
and yellow, the researchers said.
Chameleons are reptiles that are part of
the iguana suborder. These colorful liz-
ards are known as one of the few animals
that can change skin color. However, it is
a misconception that chameleons change
colors to match their surroundings.
