A rare and unforgettable wildlife moment at MacRitchie Reservoir near the famous Treetop Walk.š¦
For the first time in my life, I was lucky enough to spot the incredible Flying Dragon lizard (Draco) with my own eyes deep inside the rainforest. At first, it was almost impossible to notice because of its perfect camouflage that blends beautifully with the tree bark.
This fascinating agamid lizard is famous for its ability to glide between trees using special wing-like skin flaps called patagia. Instead of flying like birds, it jumps from high branches and glides gracefully through the forest air to another tree. Some species can glide up to 60 meters.
These tiny forest dragons are commonly found in Southeast Asian tropical forests and mostly feed on ants and small insects. The males also have colorful throat flaps called dewlaps which they use to attract mates and defend their territory. Nature truly creates some amazing creatures.
Seeing this beautiful reptile in the wild at MacRitchie made the whole forest hike even more special and unforgettable. Singaporeās rainforest still hides many wonders for nature lovers and wildlife photographers. šø
