Origin of the species’ name:<\/h4>\n

\u00c9douard-Raoul Brygoo (later working at the Natural History Museum in Paris, France) and Charles Antoine Domergue of the then Institut Pasteur in Antananarivo, Madagascar, named the species after the botanist Jean Thiel. Thiel had found most of the animals of the species in 1968 and brought them to Antananarivo.<\/p>\n

Brookesia thieli<\/em> is found in central-eastern Madagascar in the areas of Moramanga, Andasibe, Vohimana, and Anjozorobe. There is also a further population higher up in the north near Masoala. So far we have been able to find the animals in the rainforest of Andasibe-Mantadia National Park, Ranomafa National Park, and Anjozorobe.
