Scientists in Madagascar, Africa, hit the jackpot. They found chameleons! The creatures are called Calumma krystalae. These lizards are about eight to 11 inches long. The male has a bony part that sticks out from its nose area. Males and females have large skin flaps behind their heads. More than 160 scales cover the flaps. The males’ eyelids and skin flaps turn a bright blue when they are excited. The females’ eyelids and skin flaps are usually green.
