A team of international scientists has found a minuscule chameleon in Northen Madagascar that is believed to be the smallest reptile in the world.
The newest discovered chameleon is called the
Brookesia nana (B.nana) that is extremely tiny that the adult male measures less than an inch including its tail and is considered to be the smallest reptile among the 11,500 known reptile species. The females are a bit larger than the males, at about three-quarters of an inch from vent to snout.
The team published their study on January 29 this year in the journal Scientific Reports.
