The brown leaf chameleon (''Brookesia superciliaris'') is a small chameleon found on a small island off the eastern coast of Madagascar. Its appearance mimics that of a dead leaf. ==Description== The brown leaf chameleon is distinguished by its elongated, high, laterally squashed body that resembles a rolled-up, dead leaf. The size and appearance of this chameleon varies considerably over its vast range, and it may be any shade of brown, beige, grey, olive, green, or dark red, but usually display colours and patterns that mimic a dead leaf. Despite its tiny size, the brown leaf chameleon has an imposing appearance due to two pronounced horns that protrude from the head above each eye and four spiny scales that jut from the throat.〔Nečas, P. and Schmidt, W.
