Brookesia micra

Brookesia Micra is primarily terrestrial, spending most of its time on the forest floor where it blends in with its surroundings. It is a solitary and slow-moving species, feeding mainly on small insects and other invertebrates.

Very little is known about the breeding habits of Brookesia Micra, but like other chameleons, it is assumed to lay eggs. The tiny size and isolated habitat of this species may limit its breeding opportunities, and it likely has a small reproductive output.

This chameleon has a very small, compact body with a short tail, enabling it to blend perfectly with the forest floor. Its slow movements and ability to camouflage make it difficult to spot in its natural habitat, where it relies on its invisibility to avoid predators.

Brookesia Micra was only discovered in recent years, with its official description in 2012. It inhabits a very restricted range on the island of Madagascar, specifically in the dry forests where it lives among leaf litter and rocks.

Brookesia Micra is classified as "Endangered" due to its limited habitat and the ongoing threat of deforestation in Madagascar. Conservation efforts are focused on habitat protection to ensure the survival of this incredibly small and unique chameleon species.
