Pygmy chameleons have bicuspid claws where each claw has two points like a crescent moon.
Kinyongia uthmoelleri and Trioceros quadricornis gracilor have red claws.
The word Kinyongia is from the Swahili word for chameleons: Kinyonga.
Chameleons have a very poor sense of smell.
Many chameleon species have a bright red, orange or yellow mouth. This conspicuous interior when displayed is used as a defense against predators.
Some chameleons play dead to avoid predation; this is called thanatosis.
Furcifer labordi (Labord’s Chameleon) has the shortest lifespan of only 4-5 months. It also has the shortest lifespan of any tetrapod!

Trioceros schubotzi can be found at elevations as high as 4500m.
