Brookesia micra

Happy birthday to my mother, who has usually indulged my love for God’s scaly and slimy creatures.

A few months ago, I came across several articles about the recently discovered Brookesia micra, a tiny chameleon from Madagascar. Here it is on a matchstick.

You may read about the runty reptile and his critter cousins on National Geographic, The Daily Mail, and PLoS ONE.
