Brookesia nana or nano chamaleon is also called as Nosy Hara leaf chameleon, they discovered by German Madagascan .It was the smallest reptile on earth till 2021 found B. Nana, a male chamaleon. The size of this species is the size of a sunflower seed .
The male chamaleon has a body of just 13.5mm whereas, the female was distinctly bigger at 19mm.
It's thought to survive on a diet of mites and springtails, which it hunta down in leaf litter.
Their body is laterally compressed, the tail is sometimes curled, and the bulged eyes move independently of one another.
The newly discovered chamaleon is not just micro in size - it is also micro endemic . It only occupies a narrow band of degraded rainforest on the Sorata Massif in northern Madagascar.
I tried to cover this species in concise form as so possible to me . Thank you for opening that blog website .
Keep it up nice work 👍
