Brookesia Stumpffi is also known as the leaf chameleon. This small chameleon inhabits the Western Madagascar dry forests such as Ankarana National Park and also rainforests like Amber Mountain and islands (Nosy Be, Nosy Komba, Nosy Sakatia). These chameleons live on the ground and low vegetation but sometimes they can even climb on trees. You can find more detailed information about this tiny chameleon visiting my favorite chameleon websites: Madcham.de.
