I Nearly Ran Into This Fella

I was wondering around again and I literally ran into this guy after finishing photographing a cute little lizard below.This fella is a Black-bearded Flying Lizard. Doesn't it look like a skinny twig? And like the colugo, it had a penchant of going around the tree trunk.Both are superb in terms of their ability to blend into their environment.

Shao Wei,

Thanks for the compliments. The Colugos are around you have to have sharp eyes to spot them. They blend in real well with the tree trunk.

As for correcting me on the lizard, no problems. I'm not an expert welcome feedback.
