“Brookesia micra can curl up and pretend to be a dead leaf if it’s threatened. Unlike larger chameleons, the Brookesia Micra‘s tail is stumpy and not prehensile. Instead, it uses its tail as a fifth leg to climb up trees. Brookeisa Micras have 20 vertebrae compared to the 50 vertebrae of bigger chameleons.”
