Now you have to complete a new lesson in which you will learn how to draw a chameleon. This is one of the most amazing animals on our planet. The main feature of a chameleon is that it is able to change its color.
Skin color changes under the influence of various factors. The main reason is the surrounding area, because chameleons are excellent at camouflage. Humidity, fear, satiety, and thirst also affect the change in skin color. If the chameleon is frightened, then it can swell and increase in size.
The chameleon has an amazing eye structure. This animal is able to rotate its eyes independently of each other and simultaneously look in different directions. The chameleon has a very long elastic tongue with which he catches insects, and he does it surprisingly quickly.
