Draco Lizard Characteristics

• Amniote
• Sternum
• Three Chambered Heart
• Wings

Draco Lizard Characteristics continued

• elongated ribs
• gular flap called a dewlap
• long slinder tail

draco lizard reproduction

• Males, and occasionally females, show several displays.
• These include the spreading of the wings and a bobbing motion of the entire body
• This happens when they are close to each other. 
• It is not known exactly when reproduction occurs
• It is believed to be in December and January

The Flying Lizard is generally an insectivore, feeding mostly on small ants and termites. The lizard is described as a sit and wait feeder, meaning it will generally sit next to a tree trunk waiting for the ants to come to it. When the ant or termite is close enough, the lizard is able to pick it up without shifting its own body.
