Common Name:

Scientific Name: Furcifer nicosiai

Food: Insects

Distribution: W Madagascar

Habitat: Dense subhumid forest, dense dry forest with xerophytic vegetation atop sharp limestone blocks, clearings covered with Pederia creepers and forest edges.

Color Discription:

Physical Discription: The presence of a high parietal crest and the absence of rostral appendages. Other features include: separated canthi rostrales, poorly developed but evident gular crest, markedly acute rostral profile, complete ventral crest and poorly developed dorsal crest extending from the nuchal region to the tail. The external morphology and the sexual dimorphism make this new taxon very similar to Furcifer verrucosus, from which it can be distinguished by a smaller size, different color patterns and hemipenis ornamentation.
