These are often mistakenly called "chameleons" due to the fact that they can change from green to brown. Chameleons are old world animals and are only related to anoles at the Order level.

A little friendly suggestion you should edit the info on this reptile it is closer to an knight Anole then a chameleon. Chameleons are the ones with googly eyes
