In the period from 1999 to 2010, the World Wildlife Fund found 615 new species in Madagascar - one of the richest tropical habitats on the planet. However, many of these species are threatened with extinction because of deforestation and the illegal trade in wildlife.
As you may have guessed, today we look at some new kinds of animals living in Madagascar.
Chameleon
Introducing a new and colorful species of chameleons Furcifer timoni, found in tropical forests of northern Madagascar and described scientifically only 2 years ago - in 2009. Scientists say that this is an amazing discovery, since previously the area thoroughly and repeatedly examined for the presence of new species of reptiles.

Again, lemurs
In 1992, only two species of mouse lemurs. Since then, the number rose to 15 species, including a lemur, which we have already seen above. Even within a single species can find a great variety. Scientists have discovered 70 mouse lemurs of different colors in different parts of Madagascar, but after careful study have concluded that they all belong to one species.

Splashes of red

Wood frog

Gecko: disguise
It is easy to see why this gecko Uroplatus pietschmanni was discovered by scientists only in 2003. 12 inches in length, this lizard loves to climb on the thick branches of trees, where it merges with the surrounding world. The perfect camouflage! (Photo by Ben Smith | WWF Madagascar):
Reef
