excuse me I have discovered a creature with the coolest name on earth. nothing can compete, don't even try. introducing: the nano chameleon
Newly discovered "nano-chameleon" is world's smallest known reptile

A tiny new species of chameleon has been discovered, and it seems to be the smallest reptile in the world. Known as Brookesia nana, or the nano-chameleon, the petite species can perch on a fingertip and may have the smallest adult males of any vertebrate.

@ElleGray you can’t fool me. That’s a baby dragon!
@ElleGray does it come and go? Come and go?
@Qacdefeej @ElleGray - thank you for going exactly where I went. Am now earwormed for life.

@ElleGray
lookin like the pygmy variants in Ark. I tamed a therizinosaurus yesterday barely up to my knee. also tamed a Colossus otter the size of a dragon who now sits in my base to greet visitors, naturally I named him Tiny.

(yes, I know some consider "pygmy" a pejorative, but that's what they're called in the game)

@ElleGray @Lowie nano nano nano nano nano nano chameleon, you come and gooooooo

@ElleGray Should this (admittedly marvellous) animal let its (admittedly marvellous) name lead it to stray into overweening pride, however, it must necessarily suffer some reverse that restores the balance of the universe.

There’s a name for that sort of thing, but I just can’t put my finger on it.

@ElleGray I have been guilty, albeit in the somewhat distant past, of trying to keep small (though not that small) chameleons in terrariums. It doesn't work very well. But I am still fascinated.

@ElleGray I want a whole swarm of nano chameleons

My own personal green goo scenario

@ElleGray 🎡 Nano, nano, nano, nano, nano, chameleon, you come and go, you come and go, . . .

@ElleGray Beware: It will evolve into dragon sized when the environmental pressures of neoteny are removed.

@ElleGray
