It's scientific name is Draco Volans, native to Indonesia and the South Pacific, it reaches up to ten inches, and can glide an average of 25 feet from tree to tree to escape predation. It can only glide, as no known reptiles can sustain powered fight
@anubisiv From what i saw about your pictures apparently they are real and its a new species of what we know.. (newly discovered) over 3,500 new species are discovered a year I read... :P
It is a flying dragon that is the real name or a dracoe I am not sure I spelled that right thow I have a part in a book that is all about that lizard.
This is a video of all the different species of Draco Lizard. They live mostly in Borneo and surrounding Islands. The Glide from tree to tree with extendable rib flaps. They can glide for two hundred meters or more.
these animals have been known about for like what?a couple of tousands of years and they have been identified for a long time.
Its called a Draco Lizard and there are a whole range of diffrent species with diffrent size and color, as far as i know have very few people managed to keep em in captivity and they are REALLY NOT recomended as pets as they usually starv to death after suffering due to the lack of space for way to long.
Might be wrong but i think their diet is of only ants
Flying Lizards are real. They are many in Indonesia. They came from genus Draco. They are about 10-20 centimeters in length. their wingspan are about 10-15 cm as well. I am from indonesia and i found them everywhere in Indonesia, tough nowadays they maybe just can be found in forests
This lizard was discovered by our Philippine National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal and it was named after him... Draco Rizali is the name and it can also be found here in the Philippines... I saw this king of lizard one time when I was still working in Zambales, Philippines....
Its a Dracovolans from S.E. Asia. They are very common and eat ants. They are capable of gliding long distances. By spreading thier ribes which are covered with a skin membrane that forms a wing. They are very small, and a member of the agamid family of lizards.
They are relatively common in forests and in urban settings such as parks and gardens. They are found in Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo(i had to post three comments beacause there was alot of info to cover about them.
camouflage against the tree trunks. The males have a yellow triangular flap of skin under the chin, the gular fold, which is used to communicate with other lizards, mostly for mating. Females have a much smaller and blue flap. They feed on small insects
The Common Gliding Lizard (Draco sumatranus) is a lizard with elongated ribs and skin flaps on the sides of its body. When opened, these skin flaps allow it to glide between tree trunks. It is primarily a tree dweller, except that the females come down to the forest floor to lay eggs. The body length is of about 9 cm, with a slightly longer tail. The body is of a dark grey/brown colouration with stripes and patterns to help it
in the 90's we even still have this "cleret gombel" in the city of Yogyakarta, Java. But nowadays they were vanished, probably we only can find em in rural area now.
That's idiotic...a HOAX? Seriously?....and no it does not look like a dragon. This is a Flying lizard, in the Draco genus. And it doesn't fly, it glides through the air by extending its membranes. Look it up in Wikipedia.
@jedihunter176 Um, i don't know if you're blind, but this looks EXACTLY like a dragon. And btw, ANYONE can edit Wikipedia, and most of the time Wikipedia is wrong. Seriously... We know that insects used to be GIGANTIC, and that nowadays lizards are much smaller than they used to be (a.k.a, miniature dinosaurs)... and we know that a dragon is a TYPE of dinosaur. So it's a lizard, it has two pairs of legs, wings coming out of its back... Just make it way bigger, and u have a dragon.
2: Look at a picture of a dragon. Now look at this.
3: Wikipedia is neither right nor wrong. Its sources determine that. Wikipedia doesn't make things up, everything it writes is a compilation of various PUBLISHED and VERIFIED sources.
2: The wings aren't coming out of it's back. It's a modified ribcage. It is connected to a membrane, which upon extension, functions as a wing.
3: Make it way bigger, and you still have a big lizard with rib wings.
Draco Volans. a.k.a Flying Draco. It is a common species of lizards in South East Asia and I have caught a lot. I live in Singapore and they are almost everywhere. They use their gliding techniques to escape from predetors. Very cool
This kind of lizard will soon be endangered here in Phils...very soon, they sell it very cheap as an asthma medicine and i fell very sorry for them..u should see the video "tamumokaw" their native name in phils."
its called a broad winged draco, the wings are actually ribs that have evolved to be able to rotate outward so that they can glide away from predators such as snakes. they also have a chin crest that can flip out and act as a rudder, a friend of mine owns one and im getting one as soon as i have enough space in my house lol. hope this helps :)
Sublime for real. I'm glad you posted this so more people can see for themselves that there is magic in everyday life and new discoveries all the time that make life so exciting. :O)
Wow, that's so f*cken cool!!!! I have never come across this lizard, nor have I seen it on the web. But I wonder if he is truly the only one that had discovered it???
Totally could be! I'm open to it. But if that little bugger comes flying at me you better believe it will get the smack down just like any other insect/reptile thingy.
yes, like this video was a joke XD, anyways, i'm half believe i'ts true and half not, because there is tremendous realistic work that have been photoshoped all over the internet
