s) of the same size, but
most cannot deal as well with cold surroundings.Many animals
change colors because of different cells in their bodies.
Some species of chameleon, although not all, are able to
change the color of their skin in order to be camouflaged into
their surroundings. These colour changes in the chameleon's skin
colour can include colours such as pink, blue, red, orange, green,
black, brown, light blue, yellow and turquoise, all so that the
chameleon can blend in more easily. ​

; that is, any animal whose regulation of
body temperature depends on external sources, such as sunlight
or a heated rock surface.
Colouration in animals is produced by reflection and
scattering of light by cells and tissues, and by absorption of light
by chemical pigments within cells of the skin. Colouration in
animals is produced by reflection and scattering of light by cells
and tissues, and by absorption of light by chemical pigments
within cells of the skin. In ectotherms, cells containing pigments
are called chromatophores and are largely responsible for
generating skin and eye colour, In conclusion many animals can
change colors and those animals are called ectotherms.
