Question

Differentiate between flying lizard and bird. Draw the diagram.

Answer 1

Hint: Draco has two skin folds called Patagia, which it uses to glide from one tree to another and the birds use its wings to fly the adapted forelimbs. Draco is the Flying Lizard. The Draco is a kind of agamid lizards, which are sometimes called flying lizards.

Complete answer:
Flying lizard belongs to the 'reptile' category and is described as cold, scale-covered, and three-chambered heart. Although the birds belong to the category 'aves' with warmblood characteristics that are protected by plumes, frontal measures modified as wings and four-chambered hearts.

Any fundamental distinctions between a bird and a flying lizard are as follows:

Flying Lizard	Birds
It belongs to the Reptilia class.	It belongs to the Aves class.
Their body has scales.	Their bodies are coated in plume/ feathers.
Their body has forelimbs.	Their forelegs are changed like wings.
It sheds its scales as casts.	It does not.
It has a 3-chambered heart	It has a 4-chambered heart.
Jaws and teeth present.	Horny beak substituted for jaws and teeth.
They are cold-blooded vertebrates.	These are warm-blooded vertebrates.

Note: The flying lizard is not eaten by humans. In fact, many Philippines believe this species to be poisonous, but it is not true (Taylor, 1966). The only advantage is therefore the aesthetic benefit of the flight of such a colourful species of lizard. The Lizards have their eyelids. Varanus komododensis is called komododensis dragon and is the longest live lizard 3 metres and 100 kg. Heloderma is called a Gila monster and is one of the toxic lizards and a neurotoxin is a poison.
