Almost every time I go into the bushes I find this type of chameleon, but I have never been able to take photos of this iguana-like animal. This animal is too difficult to photograph because when I shoot it, it immediately goes into the bushes.

This is a type of garden chameleon or in scientific language Calotes versicolor. It is called a garden chameleon because this chameleon is often found in park areas and open bushes that are exposed to direct sunlight. This brownish-yellow chameleon often sunbathes on the tops of bushes. The tail of this type of chameleon is longer than its body length.
The garden chameleon perched on the tip of a leaf in a bush area is waiting for a type of insect that passes by to be eaten because the garden chameleon or Calotes versicolor is a type of species that is active during the day and is an eater of various types of insects.
