Answer: Chameleon

When you think of chameleons, you'll probably think of the colour-changing skin.

Darker colours warm them up, while light colours help them keep cool or maintain their body temperatures. Chameleons living in jungles tend to be green, while the ones living in deserts are browner. The eyes on the side of the chameleon's head move independently of each other and give them a wider picture of what's going on around them. They use their long tongues to catch prey, just like frogs.
