Colorful and surprising, the chameleon is one of the most fascinating reptiles in the animal kingdom. Recognizable by its independently moving eyes and long, extendable tongue, it can capture an insect in a fraction of a second, sometimes at a distance equivalent to its body length.
Its most well-known characteristic is its ability to change color. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't just for camouflage, but also to communicate with its fellow creatures or regulate its body temperature. Surprisingly, its pincer-like fingers and prehensile tail allow it to grip branches tightly, making it an agile climber.
This Papo figurine reproduces the chameleon with striking realism: slender body, detailed scales and a ready-to-pounce posture. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent exotic stories or educate children about the incredible adaptations of the animal world.
