Brookesia sp. 4
Living their lives on the forest floor, their dusky orange/brown colours match the leaves. They mostly hunt small invertebrates with their long, extensible tongue. The genus comprising 26 species is endemic to Madasgascar and due to their cryptic coloration is less well studied than other genera in the family. They are most easily found at night when they climb plants and sleep on leaves to avoid ground predators. Found during a night hike in mt. d'Ambre national park.
