Chameleon (comics)
The Chameleon (Dmitri Smerdyakov) is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Commonly depicted as a master of disguise and the half-brother of Kraven the Hunter, the Chameleon is known as being the first supervillain for Spider-Man to face by first appearing in the original issue of "The Amazing Spider-Man".
Namaqua chameleon
Unlike the arboreal chameleons of the genus "Chamaeleo", its tail is not prehensile, but otherwise it still hunts in the same way, slowly stalking its prey and catching it with its long tongue. Namaqua chameleons feed on insects, (particularly beetles and crickets); lizards, including young chameleons of their own species; small snakes; and even scorpions. They hunt their prey in both sandy dunes and rocky areas.
In turn, Namaqua chameleons are preyed upon by jackals, hawks, and eagles. Similar to other chameleon species, in areas near human habitation, it falls victim to introduced predators such as domestic cats and dogs.
