Gliding Lizard

Draco sp.

Description:

Draco is a genus of agamid lizards that are also known as flying lizards, flying dragons or gliding lizards. These lizards are capable of gliding flight; their ribs and their connecting membrane may be extended to create "wings" (patagia), the hindlimbs are flattened and wing-like in cross-section, and a flap on the neck (the gular flag) serves as a horizontal stabilizer. Draco are arboreal insectivores. Did see them gliding but unfortunately couldn't capture it on cam! Spotted in Khao Sok, Thailand
