The Devious Draco Lizard

Draco lizards look ordinary—until they leap. Hidden flaps of skin along their ribs act like wings, letting them glide from tree to tree in tropical forests. This gliding ability helps them escape predators, find food, and move through their environment with minimal risk.

What’s more, their glides are controlled. They can steer mid-air and even change speed, making them hard targets for birds and snakes. Instead of running from danger, Draco lizards take to the skies—without needing feathers or jetpacks.
