About the Bartlett’s Flying Dragon
Draco cornutus is a species of "flying dragon", an agamid lizard. It is endemic to Borneo. It occurs at elevations up to 700 m (2,300 ft) above sea level, although its distribution is poorly known. The color of the gliding membrane, or patagia, of Draco cornutus depends on the habitat; populations of these lizards have adapted over time to match the color of local falling leaves. This adaptation provides them with camouflage from potential avian predators. Wikipedia →
