The true chameleon and the green anole have much in common. They are both lizards. Most species live in trees or bushes, subsisting mainly on insects. Both can change color, although the anole's ability to do so is considerably more limited than the chameleon's. 1, record 2, English, - green%20anole

Ils se nourrissent principalement d'insectes et peuvent tous deux changer de couleur, quoique cette faculté soit beaucoup plus développée chez le Caméléon. 1, record 2, French, - anole%20vert
