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。 " p; D# C% Z/ |3 g公仔箱論壇5.39.217.76+ c4 W$ n* O7 k7 y
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。 : i) v7 Z1 K" u 0 X. S/ g* l, n. o7 Wtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb 4 _, O1 h" O5 j# U7 jTVBNOW 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。 tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% j! y0 w5 k. Z: W5 C6 i, S
