Marshall's pygmy chameleon
Marshall's pygmy chameleon (''Rhampholeon marshalli''), also called Marshall's leaf chameleon or Marshall's dwarf chameleon, is a species of chameleon found in the forests of Zimbabwe and Mozambique in Africa. It grows from 3.5 to 7.5 cm (1.25 to 3 in) and feeds on insects. When standing still, it resembles a leaf on a branch.
==Identification==
Marshall’s leaf chameleon is unmistakable. It is the only such tiny chameleon in its range (sympatric with ''Chamaeleo dilepis quilensis'', the flap-necked chameleon to a degree). This is a tiny species of 3.2-7.5 cm (females being slightly larger). Isolated populations have distinct size variations; for example, those found just to the north of Mutare appear to be larger than those just to the south (separated by deep valleys). It has a dorsoventrally flattened head and body with prominent ribs and apparent venation, giving it the appearance of a leaf. Its colour variations are from deep brown to yellowish green according to the camouflage required for the situation. Males are usually more brightly coloured.
