Minute leaf chameleon  (Brookesia minima)

Range

Occurs in parts of northern and north-western Madagascar. Minute leaf chameleons are a difficult species to identify correctly and only populations inhabiting the offshore island of Nosy Bé and the neighbouring mainland can be said with certainty to be this species of Brookesia (2).
