Why does a chameleon change its color?

👶 Short Answer (For Little Kids)

A chameleon changes its color to blend in with its surroundings or show how it feels.

🧠 Detailed Explanation (For Older Kids)

Chameleons change their color mainly for camouflage, which helps them hide from predators and sneak up on prey. They can also change colors when they're feeling angry, scared, or even happy! This amazing ability is due to special cells in their skin that expand or contract to show different colors. So, it's like they have their own magic mood ring!
