Â· 7 years ago. Chameleons camouflage themselves in a variety of different ways but most famously by changing the colour and pattern of their skin. Most chameleons can change colour and they do this by expanding or contracting cells in their skin that contain different pigments. They can blend into their surroundings by altering the colour of their skin to match the background. Chameleons will also use their ability to switch colour during social displays when they alter their colouration and pattern dramatically from the background. Their body shape also helps with camouflage as well as the way they move. The high arched back gives their body a leaf-like shape and their slow movements make it diffi cult for predators and prey to detect them. Some chameleons, for example the stump-tailed chameleon, rock back and forward to look like leaves being blown by the wind.
A chameleon is a small reptile of the lizard family, which can change its colour in response to sickness, changes in temperature, or instinctive responses such as fear and agg â¦ ression. They do not change colour to blend in with their surroundings.It has also been found that chameleons change colour to become more obvious both to other chameleons and to predators. Chameleons can move their eyes independently of one another.ontrary to the common rumors, chameleons actually don't change colors to camoflage. The pigment in their scales fades from one color to the next like the molecules in a mood â¦ ring to show a chameleon's mood. A happy, calm chameleon is a yellow-green color. 2 people found this useful.
