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。$ V7 Z2 Q0 e3 ?$ v3 M" c$ Z

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。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。1 e" T; m* b* y0 n# @4 \; Q
