Scientists Discover World's Smallest Known Reptile Which They Named The 'Nano-Chameleon'

Scientists from the Bavarian state collection of zoology led the team of international participants. They wanted to make sure that the chameleons were fully grown, so they did CT scans and found that the female had eggs and the male had fully-developed genitalia. That suggests that both of the reptiles are mature. Speaking of the male's genitalia, they were not necessarily miniature when compared to the rest of the body. They were almost 20% of the entire length of the body, and that would be necessary considering the female's larger size so mating is possible. It is something known as the sexual size dismorphia, as the female is significantly larger.
