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。 6 N$ p' V6 z3 c1 s公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 j( S7 q2 L+ e* y+ X
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。 " P' k3 Z1 s1 B0 G3 t4 s + V" a0 y) ?9 j: ltvb now,tvbnow,bttvb# s [/ p: Y# v! B- f
