One of Borneo's remarkable Draco 'flying lizards' — able to glide between trees using a fan of skin (patagium) supported by elongated ribs, extended only when leaping. This species has small horn-like scales above the eyes.
Spends most of its time on tree trunks, gliding to escape predators or move between trees rather than climbing down and back up, feeding on ants and other small invertebrates.
