smallest chameleon

[dlemmings]

Scientists have discovered a new species of chameleon, Brookesia micra, believed to be the smallest in the world.

The tiny lizard, native to Madagascar, measures less than 30 millimeters fully grown – and when young, it is small enough to stand comfortably on the head of a match.

There are probably many more species of animals like this that we have yet to discover. Amazing find.
