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。 ! ^9 h. P4 v+ v4 i+ O! l9 x公仔箱論壇公仔箱論壇8 D5 [. Y8 v: A0 W7 u* X1 B
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。 5 X3 V, m" q+ A# {4 g. S公仔箱論壇 : J @0 q* o7 L$ S4 S 4 h5 p, Y5 c# Z6 P" @# k. i3 w" ?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。 5.39.217.76! ^3 ^* l0 H I4 [
