Jarecki's Flying Dragon
Draco jareckii
Draco jareckii is a species of "flying" lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to the Philippines. Like all members of the genus Draco, males possess a dewlap for displaying, and both sexes possess pseudo-wings (patagia) for gliding from high places, though not actually capable of powered flight.
