The genus name Draco — Latin for ‘dragon’ — is entirely apt: these lizards possess an extraordinary gliding apparatus formed by greatly elongated ribs that support a thin membrane of skin — the patagium — which can be extended laterally to form a pair of vivid, wing-like panels, enabling controlled glides of up to 10 metres between trees. A genuinely extraordinary, anatomically unique, and visually exceptional addition to any serious natural history collection or herpetological study. Perfect for herpetologists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.
