About Draco melanopogon Boulenger, 1887
Common Names and Taxonomy
Draco melanopogon, commonly called the black-bearded gliding lizard or black-barbed flying dragon, is a species of agamid "flying lizard" that is endemic to Southeast Asia.
Habitat
This is typically a forest-dwelling, arboreal lizard.
Diet and Reproduction
It preys on small invertebrates such as ants, and it is oviparous.
Communication Behavior
Unlike most lizards that have dewlaps, which use both headbobbing and dewlaps to convey signals, this species is notable for relying only on dewlap-mediated communication.
