🦎 The Mediterranean Chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon)

🌳 Best known for its colour-changing ability & long tongue, you’ll find it from the coastal plain to the Galilee hills, often in olive groves, shrubland or open woodland & even gardens. It prefers places where it can climb, hide & ambush its prey eg branches, bushes & low trees.

🍽️ It uses its long sticky tongue to catch insects like flies, crickets & beetles & sometimes even tiny lizards. It waits patiently, blends into the foliage & strikes with precision.

⚠️ Despite its camouflage, it faces danger from large birds, snakes & domestic cats. The bigger threats, however, are habitat loss, road traffic & collection for the pet trade, which reduce its numbers.
