Chameleons are slow walkers. They have grippy toes that close around twigs like little hands, and they move one careful step at a time, often pausing for ages. That looks lazy - but it is actually clever. Slow movement means insects don't notice them approaching.
Their eyes are the strangest bit. The left eye can look up at a bird while the right eye is watching a beetle on a leaf below. When the chameleon decides which one it wants to catch, both eyes lock onto the target together. Then the tongue does the rest.
The tongue is sticky, fast and very long - up to one and a half times the length of the chameleon's body. It shoots out, grabs the insect, and snaps back in less time than you take to blink. Watching it in slow motion is one of the wildest things in the natural world.
Chameleons can change their skin colour, but not (as people sometimes think) to copy the wallpaper behind them. Mostly they change colour to show how they feel - bright and pale when they are warm and calm, dark and patterned when they are angry or scared. It is a bit like having your mood written on your skin.
