0:27 10. Nosy Hara Leaf Chameleon

The Brookesia Micra chameleon is a small reptile with stumpy tails that allows them to climb trees. Biologists attribute their diminutive size to insular dwarfism, which helps them survive on islands with limited food and mature faster. In contrast to larger chameleons, they have 20 vertebrae.

0:52 9. Madagascar Worm Snake

The Madagascar worm snake is a harmless cylindrical species that feeds on ants and termites in forests. It plays a vital role in insect population control despite its elusive behavior and rare sightings in the wild.

1:10 8. Leaf Mantis

The Leaf Mantis prefers warm and humid environments, and it can be spotted on the ground, on tree bark, or hanging from branches. Its distinctive appearance makes it easily recognizable, and its moist habitat provides a wide range of hunting opportunities.

1:30 7. Rainbow Agama

Common agamas have a varied diet of insects, small mammals, reptiles, and plant materials. They catch prey using their specialized tongue and engage in territorial combat to establish dominance. They live in social groups led by an alpha male, with several females and subordinate males.

1:53 6. Mata Mata Turtle

The Mata Mata is a large and stationary turtle with unique features like a triangular, flattened head, skin flaps, and a “spike” on its snout. It weighs about 21 kg when fully grown and can camouflage itself as bark to avoid predators.

2:13 5. Dragon Snake

To distinguish between male and female, look for differences in hemipenial bulge, size, tail thickness, and length. Females are larger with longer, thinner tails and no bulge, while males are smaller with thicker, longer tails and a bulge. They are resilient to threats and can survive in moist agricultural areas, but agricultural pollution could be harmful to them.

2:41 4. Spiny Bush Viper

The Spiny Bush Viper is an African venomous snake with distinct, heavily keeled dorsal scales, giving it a shaggy appearance. It can be green, olive green, bluish, or brownish, and males are longer and slimmer than females.

3:01 3. Tangerine Dream Honduran Milk Snake

The Honduras milk snake is among the largest milk snake species, growing up to 5 feet long and frequently kept in captivity. It preys on a variety of animals, including venomous snakes, using constriction. Female Honduras milk snakes lay 3-18 eggs in early June, which hatch after approximately two months of incubation in August or September.

3:28 2. Henkel’s Leaf-Tailed Gecko

Henkel’s leaf-tailed gecko is an arboreal creature that only comes to the ground to lay eggs. It is classified as vulnerable due to threats like habitat destruction, deforestation, and not legal pet trade. The species is listed in CITES Appendix 2 for protection.

3:50 1. Spider-Tailed Horned Viper

The snake is highly skilled at imitating other creatures. When researchers found a digested lark in the stomach of the paratype specimen, they believed that the snake used its tail as a lure to attract birds. Further field investigations confirmed this behavior, showing that the snake moves its tail in a figure-of-eight pattern to entice birds, which is known as caudal luring.
