Scientists have recently discovered four new chameleon species around Madagascar that may prove to be some of the smallest reptiles in the world.
At only about one inch long, these chameleons may represent a severe case of island dwarfism, a condition in which a species grows smaller over time to adapt to conditions. It’s no surprise that these reptiles were just now discovered; they wouldn’t exactly be easy to spot in the wild!
