Nicholas 5 Posted February 16, 2012 As the titles states, the world's smallest chameleon has been found in Madagascar. Researchers have recently discovered four new chameleon species, which rank among the world’s tiniest reptiles. Adults of the smallest species are just over an inch from snout to tail. It really makes you wonder what else we have yet to discover on our own planet and elsewhere. Full story here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted February 16, 2012 Awww they're just so cute! It's amazing that even after all this time there are still things to discover, no doubt more species lie hidden especially in such a 'remote' region.. I wonder what purpose they serve in nature, what kind of bugs they eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

viper[cww] 14 Posted February 17, 2012 Wow, they are almost nano size, makes you think how they survive being trodden on. I bet they dont have a very long life-span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
