Draco, the flying lizard, at ThattekadAfter crossing the river, I spotted something flying across and landing on a tree right next to me - it was a flying lizard, with a yellow patch in its throat which it keeps flicking time to time. With the tree cover around, light was very low to use the telephoto, but I managed to get a few shots of this fella so that I could confirm its identity later. The lizard was barely visible when it was set against the bark of the tree, so I had to change the angle to set it against a greener background. Apparently, it is a genus called Draco, capable of gliding from one tree to another using folds of skin attached to its rib. I could not confirm if it was Draco Haematopogon or Draco Dussumieri or some other species ... during a Valparai - Athirapally - Eravikulam - Bodimettu road trip. Taken 10:14:29 December 27, 2010 |
