科學家發現一種細至可於指甲邊爬行的爬行動物「迷你Meleon」。英國《每日郵報》報道，於馬達加斯加（Madagascar）一個小島上發現的迷你Meleon，比世界最小的變色龍（chameleon）還小，約3厘米大的牠比蒼蠅還小，可於指甲邊上爬行。科學家同時發現名為「Brookesia micra」的4個新品種。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 i1 c9 o- H @3 [ s4 t. s

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。 ! `7 z( E& ]6 W8 x5.39.217.76 ; G/ l; y, U1 h3 E5 W k5.39.217.76 - f' Z$ V% p2 |9 f0 v 9 R/ y8 F2 g9 i* Itvb now,tvbnow,bttvb[url=][/url]作者: vandas 時間: 2012-2-16 07:38 AM
