THREE colourful chameleons, so tiny they each fit on the end of a finger, have hatched at Chester Zoo – and we can’t get over the cuteness!

It’s the first time the zoo’s reptile experts have successfully bred the species, known as Cameroon two-horned mountain chameleons.

These cutie chameleons can fit on the end of a finger!

The three Cameron two-horned mountain chameleon babies, which are just 5cm in length (about the length of a small match), are the first of their kind to hatch at the zoo. The cutie chameleons are so tiny that they fit on the end of a finger!
