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。 ) \' R$ Q& Q9 J% T8 t* }tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5.39.217.769 Q; s* I4 j% e' n9 L- D- L& k: }
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。公仔箱論壇, m' d0 S' `0 p" z) P* s+ N9 G. ~
