About Panther Chameleon
Panther Chameleons are reptiles that spend most of their lives in isolation, except during mating season. This chameleon type has a powerful tongue that extends up to 26 times longer than its body. Its eyes function as gun turrets, with the lids and bottoms fused together. Another uniqueness of this panther chameleon is that its legs are zygodactylous.
