First description:\"IUCN<\/a><\/h4>\n

Brygoo & Domergue, 1975 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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, dedicated the species to the French naturalist and first finder of the species, Andr\u00e9 Peyri\u00e9ras. Peyri\u00e9ras lived temporarily in Maroantsetra in the northeast of Madagascar. In 1969, in the forest of Fantanendra, a little north of Maroantsetra, he found the animal described by Brygoo and Domergue a little later and sent it to France.<\/p>\n

Distribution:<\/h4>\n

Brookesia peyrierasi<\/em> lives in the rainforest of Madagascar’s northeast coast at the island Nosy Mangabe which is part of Masoala national park. They shall also occur in the largely unprotected Makira massif, but this could even be another species. They live in the thick foliage on the ground of dense forests and are accordingly difficult to find.

Appearance & size:<\/h4>\n

This is a dwarf even among leaf chameleons and part of the minima<\/em> group. Total lengths of 32.2 to 43.6 mm are the norm. Males reach an average total length of just 40 mm, while females are slightly smaller. Both genders are bright beige colored and do not wear a dorsal crest, but enlarged scales to both sides of it. The males have a bony appendage above the eye. Some individuals have a small tubercle on the hip.<\/p>\n
