Chameleons

Chameleons are unique reptiles known for their ability to change color, which helps them blend into their surroundings and communicate with other chameleons. They have distinctive, independently moving eyes that allow them to look in two different directions simultaneously. Chameleons also possess long, sticky tongues that can rapidly extend to catch insects from a distance.
