This is a picture of you?

Guys quick, run it through the database to get an ID on him!

I'd say you both glide. Flying squirrels use the same technique as these lizards.

Just imagine a BIG flying squirrel ! that would be terrifying!!
As someone said the evolution itself has made some creatures smaller , there were dragon like creatures in the past but the evolution changed them making them smaller ,,

He's cute, but better look out for mama! Sorry, couldn't resist! Really awesome find! S&F. I hadn't seen this one.

You have to wonder, though, if these can exist, what if there have been larger ones? I have always thought that most legends contain at least a grain of truth.

In any case, the pics are adorable! I want one. Not sure the cat would let it love, though.

Some scientists already said that bugs producing chemicals is more complicated than a lizard producing fire breath. So...

Correct, keywords - controlled falling. We can argue semantics about what is gliding vs flying, but I think the consensus considers gliding something different than flying.

So, appealing to numbers in an argument? I do not even think it is correct when you state consensus...Flight is flight...period...

Phage, if you can keep that glider up indefinitely by choice, or at least in sustained flight for long periods of time, then I'd call it flying for sure.

Strawman...what goes up must come down...does not matter whether it is powered or not powered...
