Reptiles, animals in coffee, do we hear you ask in amazement? Yes, yes, up in the steamy and teeming forests of the Western Ghats all living forms are part of a collaborative effort. These mountain ranges are bursting with biodiversity. They are a rare boon to the planet.
Take, for example, the Draco, a gliding lizard with a yellow dewlap. Membranes in its forelegs and hindlegs expand to serve as wings when it needs to escape a predator or if it feels the urge to just shift location a bit from one tree’s bark to another. A Draco flies like a mini dragon.
