Throughout history, dragons have captivated the imagination of people around the world.
While these mythical beings may not exist as we envision them, there’s a creature that closely resembles them, and it’s guaranteed to amaze you.
Draco lizards, also known as flying dragons, are part of the Agamidae family and reside in the lush tropical forests of Southeast Asia. These stunning creatures can be observed in a variety of captivating photos.
Flying dragons are between 8 and 10 inches long and possess unique membranes along the sides of their bodies.
These membranes enable them to glide effortlessly from tree to tree, covering distances up to 60 meters while only losing 10 meters in altitude. Their diet mainly consists of insects such as tree ants.
These arboreal creatures seldom descend from the trees except during mating season. Males use their membranes to attract females, initiating the reproduction process.
After mating, females lay eggs by digging a small hole in the ground, depositing 4-5 eggs, and covering them with soil and leaves.
The female guards the eggs for just 24 hours before abandoning them and returning to the tree.
Though the colors and characteristics of flying dragons may vary among species, they all share one common trait: their striking, otherworldly beauty.
