Common Gliding Lizard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

This species lives in a habitat that is fast diminishing.
