A Reddit user by the name of Biophilia_curiosus posted a few photos that he took in Indonesia. They show an amazing species of gliding lizard which basically looks like a miniature dragon.
Fans of the film Avatar will be reminded of the flying Toruks.
The crazy part is that those lines you see running through the wings like veins are actually its ribs! Evolution did a number on these guys.
They can expand and contract their chests at will to glide great distances.
The photos were taken in Buton, Indonesia, in the Lambusango Forest Reserve.
As far as I can tell, nobody has identified the exact species of this lizard, but they are still incredible little creatures!
