Scientists Discover Four Chameleons Found Nowhere Else on Earth

Four previously unknown species of Sylvan Chameleons were identified on isolated granite mountains in northern Mozambique, each confined to a separate "sky island" and revealed through genetic sequencing and morphological analysis published in Vertebrate Zoology.

The discovery underscores the urgent need for conservation; tropical forests across Africa are being cleared for agriculture, potentially eliminating species before researchers can identify them.
