Boyd's Forest Dragon
Boyd's Forest Dragon (Hypsilurus boydii) is a Australian tree-dwelling lizard. He is called a forest dragon because he lives in Rainforests. He feeds on insects like beetles and ants. He can grow to a length of 15cm (including his tail).
The dragon relies on camouflage if he has been spotted. He also uses a large yellow dewlap below the chins which he can erect. The dewlap can be used to scare off predators.
