Major's Chameleon is a large chameleon from Madagascar. It is a lizard with grasping paws and tail that changes skin color for camouflage and communication.
Major's Chameleon differs from close species by its large size and the shape of the head crest. It helps maintain balance in the forest by eating a large number of insects.
