Draco Volans

 its not a baby dragon! Meet Draco volans, an arboreal lizard found in Indonesia. Unlike mythical dragons, it lacks the ability to sustain powered flight, and is capable only of gliding. Still, it looks very cool!. The flying dragon occurs in southern India and Southeast Asia. This includes the Philippine Islands and Borneo. The species prefers rain forests and tropical areas that can provide adequate number of trees that the lizard can use for jumping and gliding.
