A Real-Life Dragon from Indonesia


Draco is a genus of agamid lizards that also are known as the Flying Dragons. The veins in its wings are its ribs. While not capable of powered flight they often obtain lift in the course of gliding. Glides as long as 60m have been recorded, over which the animal loses only 10m in height, which is quite some distance, considering that one of these lizards is only around 20 cm long. Question: can it light my smoke? i cant find my lighter.
