San Diego State大學教授Ted Townsend已就有關品種進行基因測試,估計迷你Meleon由馬達加斯加島上一種細小、不起眼的變色龍進化而成,有別於今日為人所熟悉的彩色變色龍。該等新品種只能於幾平方英哩的地方發現。

He said: 'Their size suggests that chameleons might have evolved in Madagascar from small and inconspicuous ancestors, quite unlike the larger and more colourful chameleons most familiar to us today.'
