’Smallest reptile on earth’ discovered

Scientists believe they may have discovered the smallest reptile on earth, a chameleon in Madagascar. Two of the tiny lizards were discovered, with one having a body of just 13.5mm. Its length from top to tail is 22mm (0.86in). This makes it the smallest of about 11,500 known species of reptiles. One of the researchers involved called it ’a spectacular case of extreme miniaturization.’
