      chamai` on the ground + le`wn lion. See {Humble}, and
      {Lion}.] (Zo[94]l.)
      A lizardlike reptile of the genus {Cham[91]leo}, of several
      species, found in Africa, Asia, and Europe. The skin is
      covered with fine granulations; the tail is prehensile, and
      the body is much compressed laterally, giving it a high back.
  
      Note: Its color changes more or less with the color of the
               objects about it, or with its temper when disturbed. In
               a cool, dark place it is nearly white, or grayish; on
               admitting the light, it changes to brown, bottle-green,
               or blood red, of various shades, and more or less
               mottled in arrangment. The American chameleons belong
               to {Anolis} and allied genera of the family
               {Iguanid[91]}. They are more slender in form than the
               true chameleons, but have the same power of changing
               their colors.
