 |
| Tiny Flying Dragon |
There are about 15 species. Most are about 8 in. (20 cm) long.
On either side of the lizard's body are thin, winglike folds of skin supported by five to seven ribs that extend from the body.
With its "wings" extended the lizard is capable of gliding for distances of up to 30 ft (9 m).
The wings are often brightly colored, sometimes with stripes or spots, but when they are folded to the body, the greenish with a pale yellow belly, blends with the foliage.
