(THE LOCAL, GERMANY) — A group of German and American scientists have discovered what they believe is the smallest chameleon in the world on the island nation of Madagascar.
Researchers from Munich, Darmstadt and Braunschweig, as well as California, have named the 16 millimetre-long beast Brookesia micra – Brookesia is the name of the genus the chameleon belongs to and micra represents the animal’s small size.
