Draco is a genus of gliding agamid lizard from Southeast Asia. The ribs and their connecting membrane can be extended to create a wing, the hindlimbs are flattened and wing-like in cross-section, and a small set of flaps on the neck serve as a horizontal stabilizer. Draco are arboreal insectivores. Glides as long as 60m have been recorded, over which the animal loses only 10m in height, which is quite some distance when you consider that one of these lizards is only around 20cm long.
