Brookesia therezieni
—
Perinet Leaf Chameleon
This species is extremely similar to Brookesia superciliaris, which also is found in this area. The main visible difference is that the series of dorsolateral spines continues onto the tail in this species, but ends at the pelvic shield in B. superciliaris. There will be a short quiz in tomorrow's class.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
