Hi .... came across these interesting miniature dragon pictures on the web.
A
Reddit.com 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 no doubt be reminded of the flying Toruks...

They can expand and contract their chests at will to glide great distances. We were only able to catch females as they were laying their eggs. All we could do is watch as the males soared overhead."
The photos were taken in Buton, Indonesia, in the Lambusango Forest reserve.

Okay, how do I order one? (and, will the pseudodragon and my beagle get along?) :)
