The term "flying dragon" can refer to several species of reptiles known for their ability to glide through the air. One well-known example is the Draco volans, a small lizard found in Southeast Asia. These lizards have elongated ribs that extend their skin, allowing them to glide between trees. They can cover distances of up to 10 meters (about 33 feet) while airborne. Another interpretation of "flying dragon" is in the context of mythology and fantasy. In many cultures, dragons are depicted as large, winged creatures capable of flight. These mythical beings often symbolize power and wisdom, appearing in stories and folklore around the world, such as in Chinese mythology and European legends.
