Chameleons are known for their ability to change color, a remarkable feature that has puzzled biologists for centuries. In this paper, we employ game theory to investigate the strategic implications of chameleon color change in relation to their survival. Our analysis shows that chameleons employ a complex set of behaviors to optimize their survival outcomes in the face of predators, including changing color to blend in with their environment, using their long tongues to catch prey, and acting like a total diva when threatened. Our study sheds new light on the sophisticated strategies of these remarkable creatures and adds to our understanding of the complex interplay between evolution, behavior, and, of course, fabulousness.
