Tiny Dragon found in Indonesia

TECHNOLOGY - What you are looking at is not photo shop. Its a "gliding lizard", a new species that has been discovered in Indonesia and resembles a tiny dragon.

No, it doesn't have a tiny pile of gold nor does it attack tiny miniature castles and carry off princesses... but it might be attacking ant hills and eating insects.

This photo is of a nesting female found in the Lambsuango Forest reserve and was immediately released after this photograph was taken.

To learn more just google 'gliding lizard' (there are 15 distinct species of gliding lizards), mostly found in South East Asia. This one is believed to be a new species within the same genus.
