Gliding lizards in Borneo – a large Southeast Asian island – might be avoiding avian predators by mimicking the colour of falling leaves in the forests they call home, a new study suggests. Interestingly, the lizards (Draco cornutus) have also learned to fall like leaves – a behaviour that might further deceive birds of prey. Its a cool these gliding lizards are matching the colours of falling leaves and not the leaves that are still attached to the tree.
