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。 0 y. ^. O) Q" M" U/ P3 } X; R+ P+ u1 a
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。 9 t. O1 W! v9 w; ^6 I + O( o" w# V" t% A 8 F9 q; q! q9 E) ^& [4 q6 Y0 w % x' T& Q; F3 _- j; p% b6 T% j[url=][/url]作者: vandas 時間: 2012-2-16 07:38 AM
