A German-Madagascan expedition team in Madagascar has discovered a chameleon subspecies that is the size of a seed.

The two of the tiny lizards were said to be the smallest reptile on earth, according to scientists.

The male Brookesia nana, or nano-chameleon, has a body of just 13.5mm.

This makes it the smallest of about 11,500 known species of reptiles, according to the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich.

Its length from top to tail is 22mm (0.86in).

The female is far bigger at around 29mm, the institute said, adding that other specimens were yet to be located, despite “great effort”.
