The world’s smallest reptile, about the size of a sunflower seed, is the recently discovered nano chameleon from Madagascar. The tiny reptile has a projectile tongue that it uses to capture its meals of mites and springtails. First reported in 2012, only two specimens have been found. The chameleon likely is critically endangered and deserves protection. Its small size and the limited number of samples stumped scientists who initially suspected they might have been juvenile creatures. But a Micro-CT scan revealed evidence of eggs within the ovary of the obvious female. The rainforests that the nano chameleon calls home are threatened by deforestation for agriculture and livestock to feed Madagascar’s northern regions’ population.
