Flying Lizards (Draco sp.)
 The Common Flying Lizard , Draco sumatranus,  has a yellow throat skin and a few rufous patterns on the back.They are more correctly known as Gliding Lizards because they do not really fly but they glide. They do so by opening the flaps of skin between the legs and jumping off a high vantage point. They also have a flap of throat skin, which is used for communication and courtship. It is also know as the Sumatran Gliding Lizard.
