科學家發現一種細至可於指甲邊爬行的爬行動物「迷你Meleon」。英國《每日郵報》報道，於馬達加斯加（Madagascar）一個小島上發現的迷你Meleon，比世界最小的變色龍（chameleon）還小，約3厘米大的牠比蒼蠅還小，可於指甲邊上爬行。科學家同時發現名為「Brookesia micra」的4個新品種。 / P5 a4 ~/ Z. i1 W! L' Q公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* a+ ^4 X# k) P/ n; f
San Diego State大學教授Ted Townsend已就有關品種進行基因測試，估計迷你Meleon由馬達加斯加島上一種細小、不起眼的變色龍進化而成，有別於今日為人所熟悉的彩色變色龍。該等新品種只能於幾平方英哩的地方發現。 & M' z" n* X6 _TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。 9 |5 V# y, @' C; T% I ( h% X# C/ \/ t$ f! p9 {4 C( ` ' x4 u9 l8 P& r# L2 o8 z FTVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。[url=][/url]作者: vandas 時間: 2012-2-16 07:38 AM
