Discovery of "Wozkoy Chameleon" in Madagascar, Africa The last time this breed was discovered was 100 years ago
(Mysterious Earth uux.cn report) According to the East Net: a team of scientists at the Bavarian State Natural Science Gallery in Germany, last Friday (October 30) in the African island nation of Madagascar found several "Wozkoy chameleons", the last time humans found this breed in Madagascar, it was 100 years ago. Through genetic analysis, scientists determined that the breed was closely related to the "Laboder's chameleon".
The research team said both chameleon species survived only during the rainy season, and they completed the process of breaking eggs, growing rapidly, competing with opponents, mating and dying in just a few months. In addition, the female "Wozkoy's chameleon", which has never been recorded before, originally changed a variety of colors during pregnancy, when encountering males and feeling stress.
Scientists say the habitat of the "Wozkohl chameleon" is under threat from human deforestation. The report was published in the German journal Salamander and was led by scientists from Germany and Madagascar.
