Zonosaurus brygooi, also known commonly as Brygoo's girdled lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Gerrhosauridae. The species is endemic to Madagascar. [1] [2]
The specific name, brygooi, is in honor of French herpetologist Édouard-Raoul Brygoo. [2] [3]
Z. brygooi is found in northeastern Madagascar. [1]
The preferred natural habitat of Z. brygooi is forest, at altitudes of 600–850 m (1,970–2,790 ft). [1]
Z. brygooi may attain a total length (including tail) of 30 cm (12 in). [2]
Calumma is a genus of chameleon endemic to the island of Madagascar. One species, formerly known as Calumma tigris, was transferred to the genus Archaius in 2010, upon the discovery of its closer relation to Rieppeleon—one of several genera referred to collectively as "leaf" or "pygmy" chameleons—rather than to Calumma. The earliest known fossil of the genus is of Calumma benovskyi, from early Miocene Kenya, showing that the genus likely originated on mainland East Africa. The genus includes one of the heaviest and longest chameleon species, the Parson's chameleon.
Brookesia is a genus of chameleons, lizards in the family Chamaeleonidae. The genus is endemic to Madagascar.
