The Indian chameleon (Chamaeleo zeylanicus) is a species of chameleon found in Sri Lanka, India, and other parts of South Asia. Like other chameleons, this species has a long tongue, feet that are shaped into bifid claspers, a prehensile tail, independent eye movement, and the ability to change skin colour. They move slowly with a bobbing or swaying movement and are usually arboreal. Strangely, they do not choose the background colour and may not even be able to perceive colour differences. They are usually in shades of green or brown or with bands. They can change colour rapidly and the primary purpose of colour change is for communication with other chameleons and for controlling body temperature by changing to dark colours to absorb heat.

  • O camaleão-indiano (Chamaeleo zeylanicus) é uma espécie de camaleão do gênero Chamaeleo encontrada no Subcontinente Indiano. Ele vive nas árvores e possui patas com dedos opostos para se agarrar bem aos galhos, e também uma cauda preênsil. Se movimenta com lentidão para não ser notado nem por seus predadores, nem pelas presas. Alimenta-se de insetos que ele captura usando sua longa língua pegasoja. Apesar de lento, o camaleão-indiano atira sua língua a uma velocidade assombrosa e quase sempre acerta o alvo. Possui aproximadamente 35 centímetros de comprimento com a cauda. Como todos os camaleões, ele possui a habilidade de mudar de cor e de movimentar cada olho independentemente do outro. (pt)
  • Chamaeleo zeylanicus är en ödleart som beskrevs av 1768. Chamaeleo zeylanicus ingår i släktet Chamaeleo och familjen kameleonter. Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life. Denna kameleont förekommer nästan i hela Indien, i östra Pakistan och i västra Sri Lanka. Arten hittas i låglandet och i bergstrakter upp till 1200 meter över havet. Habitatet utgörs främst av torra lövfällande skogar och av buskskogar men Chamaeleo zeylanicus besöker även mangrove och oaser i öknar. Individerna är aktiva på dagen och de klättrar främst i växtligheten. Denna kameleont har termiter, gräshoppor och andra insekter som föda. Fortplantningen sker under den kalla årstiden. Honor lägger 10 till 40 ägg som göms i jordhålor. Äggen kläcks efter 90 eller några fler dagar. (sv)
