Chameleon

Chameleons are amazing animals that are naturally known for changing colors. I have already made a post about why and how they change colors. But did you know that males are more colorful than females?

  •  Male chameleons usually have more vibrant and bright colors than females, partially for mating reasons.
  • They are also insectivores, meaning they only eat insects. Their diets contain of fruit flies, house flies, grasshoppers, mealworms, waxworms, hornworms, crickets, and dubia roaches. 
  • Veiled chameleons are native to Yemen and southern Saudi Arabia. They live in rain forests and live in the trees close to the top where it's warm so that they can get lots of sunlight and basically just chill up there.
This is interesting to me because I got a veiled chameleon yesterday and had to study a lot about them before I could get him.
