Draco cornutus is a species of "flying dragon", an agamid lizard. It is endemic to Borneo. It occurs at elevations up to 700 m (2,300 ft) above sea level, although its distribution is poorly known. The color of the gliding membrane, or patagia, of Draco cornutus depends on the habitat; populations of these lizards have adapted over time to match the color of local falling leaves. This adaptation provides them with camouflage from potential avian predators. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bartlett’s Flying Dragon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (11 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
