Tiny chameleon

The chameleon the size of an ant

Gosh... they have rather spindly legs! Yet they seem to carry those bodies around without too much effort!

[HansV]

The larger the animal, the thicker and sturdier its legs need to be - and the other way round. Hence the difference between elephants on one side, and (for example) mice on the other side. An animal the size of an ant can make do with very spindly legs indeed.

Good reminder.
I recall learning that exact point from a nature book years back (and I found the point quite interesting), but the knowledge has faded somewhat over time.
