Habitat
Chameleons mostly live in the rain forests and
deserts of Africa. The color of their skin helps
them blend in with their habitats. Chameleons
that hang out in trees are usually green. Those
that live in deserts are most often brown.

Diet
Chameleons generally eat insects such as
locusts, mantids, grasshoppers, stick insects,
and crickets. Some larger chameleons also
eat small birds and other lizards.
