Chameleons are reptiles that have been living on Earth for over 100 million years. Chameleon fossils date back to the Paleonzene period. Their fossils have been found in Africa, Europe and Asia.

They get their name from the Family they are grouped in called Chamaeleonidae. Chameleons are closely realted to iguanas and other lizards. Although they are similar
