Scientists rediscover chameleon species after 100 yrs in Madagascar
An expedition led by the Munich State Zoological Collection tracked the rare Voeltzkow's chameleon in northwest Madagascar, after it was lost for over 100 years. Genetic studies have shown that the species is most closely related to Labord's chameleon. The team also discovered previously unknown females of the species, who, especially during pregnancy, put on an "extremely magnificent colour".
