Recently Discovered in Madagascar: Timoni Chameleon
Speckled with what looks like glam rock makeup, the chameleon Furcifer timoni was recently discovered on the species-rich African island nation of Madagascar. Finding the colorful new chameleon was “very surprising,” since the northern rain forests where it was found have been repeatedly and intensively surveyed for reptiles, according to the conservation group. A total of 11 new chameleon species have been described since 1999.
