The black-bearded gliding lizard, or black-barbed flying dragon, is a species of agamid flying lizard endemic to Southeast Asia. It is a typically forest-dwelling arboreal lizard that preys on small invertebrates such as ants and lays eggs. It is notable for relying solely on dewlap-mediated communication, instead of using both head-bobbing and dewlaps (Wikipedia, general species account).
