| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This is a species of flying lizard of the genus Draco endemic to the moutain forests of southern India. The bright yellow "gular pouch" is used for territorial/mating displays and apparently to attract little insects (ants mainly) that they feed on. |

Beautiful picture Ravi. It must be tough to spot this one with such an intelligent camouflaging system.
Hi Ravi,
Nice capture! of "flyg, indeed gliding in air" lizard:) It can be better to see a whole specimen. TFS.
Greetings,
Bayram
