This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty and unique adaptation of the gliding lizard, Draco Volans. Created in 1831 by an anonymous French artist, this color engraving captures the essence of this remarkable creature. Draco Volans, also known as the Flying Dragon, belongs to a genus of gliding lizards called Draco.

Astonishingly, these wings allow it to cover distances upwards of 8 meters. The striking colors and intricate details in this artwork highlight not only its aesthetic appeal but also serve as a scientific study on the anatomy and physiology of this reptile. Its elongated body and adapted ribcage are key features that have evolved over time for survival purposes.
