The Chameleon that 'Goes Extinct'
The Libor's chameleon in Madagascar effectively goes extinct for several months every year. In November, the chameleons hatch and quickly grow to sexual maturity within two months. They breed and lay eggs in the ground, after which all the adults die in March. For most of the year, the entire species exists in egg form until the eggs hatch in November, starting the cycle again.
