Can lizards fly?
Most lizards move about on all fours, but some have more unusual ways of getting around. The Jesus lizard can stand up on two legs and sprint for short distances. It moves so fast and is so light that it can even run across water. The flying lizard has rigid flaps of skin on either side of its body that allow it to glide through the air after it has leaped from a branch.
A flying lizard glides swiftly through the air.
