Although we hear about these creatures in myths and legends, nature has found a way and surprised us with a type of lizard that is very similar to the mythical and magnificent creatures we are familiar with. called dragon.
This species, genus Draco, also known as the “flying dragon” belongs to the lizard family Agamidae and is mainly found in trees in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia.

2. They have an insect-based diet, and tree ants are one of their unique foods.
3. These creatures only descend from the treetops when they need to spawn. During courtship, males use their folded membranes to attract their mates.
