I was at Taronga zoo the other day and i saw that they had an Australian Chameleon daragon. I tried looking for some more info on it but all i could find out is that it moves slow like a chameleon and also stays very still but what i want to know is can it change its colours like a chameleon can or does it only get its name because of the other aspects.
 
"The Chameleon Dragon can be found in Northern Australia. Its name comes from its chameleon like look and 'bluffing' technique when disturbed. The lizard is slow moving and deliberate and will freeze when disturbed, turing its large head side on and flattening its body to appear larger than its 35cm length would suggest. However unlike the Chameleon, this lizard catches its prey on the ground."
