Following the same logic implied for the camelopardus, the text now lost stated that the chameleon got its name from its likeness to both camel and leon. It is possible however that the etymology was closer to the now accepted one, namely that it originates from the Greek χαμαιλέων (literary "ground lion" or "dwarf lion").</ins></div></td></tr>
