Rapunzel and Pascal Up Close coloring page

About this coloring page

Rapunzel and Pascal are inseparable in Tangled. Pascal is a little green chameleon who lives in the tower with Rapunzel and joins her for everything, from painting and reading to baking and, eventually, escaping into the outside world. He never says a word, but he gets his point across with expressions and color changes.

Real chameleons are reptiles found mostly in Africa and Madagascar, with a few species in southern Europe and Asia. They have incredibly long, sticky tongues that shoot out at lightning speed to snag insects.

Their eyes are remarkable. Each one moves on its own, so a chameleon can look in two directions at once. Their toes are fused into little pincers for gripping branches, and their tails curl up like springs for extra hold.

Lots of people think chameleons change color just to blend in, but that is not the whole story. Color changes mainly help them communicate with other chameleons and control their body temperature. They may turn darker to soak up heat or flash bright colors when they are stressed. Just like Pascal, their colors say a lot about how they feel.
