The smallest known chameleon species – Brookesia micra – recently discovered on a tiny island off Madagascar by a team of researchers led by Frank Glaw.
Glaw, who has been going to Madagascar to research its ever-expanding list of amphibians and reptiles for a quarter century, said that B. micra may represent the limit of miniaturization possible for a vertebrate with complex eyes, but said it’s impossible to know for sure since each time scientists have proclaimed the discovery of the tiniest one yet, another, tinier species appears.
