Every Inch a Reptile

Inch by inch, life’s a cinch might not apply to the world’s smallest reptile.

But then again, who really knows what it’s like to be just under an inch long?  Nano-chameleons do, but they ain’t saying.

What they are doing is hiding out in the mountains of Madagascar.  Because humans have to get down on bended knees in order to find them, these tiny creatures have remained undiscovered until recently.

Their privacy was disturbed when Frank Glaw and his Bavarian research team came upon an adult female with eggs and an adult male with plenty of what it takes to fertilize them.
