Description
This is a Short-tailed Leaf (or Pygmy) chameleon, Rieppeleon brevicaudatus. It occurs in East Africa, in forests - but mostly in the understory or on the ground. It looks very much like a dry leaf. Reaching only 8 cm/3", it is a tiny reptile, and hard to spot. Two other Rieppeleon species are known; very similar chameleons like Rhampholeon in Africa and Brookesia in Madagascar are apparently not closely related; instead, they all look alike because they all have similar, mainly terrestrial lifestyles. Acrylic.
