A **Draco**, in a biological context, refers to a genus of lizards known as **"flying dragons"** found in Southeast Asia. Here’s what a **Draco lizard** looks like: - **Size:** Small and slender, typically about 7.5 to 8.5 inches (19–22 cm) long, including the tail. - **Color:** Generally brownish or gray with darker spots or patterns, which help it blend into tree bark. - **"Wings":** Most distinctively, Draco lizards have long, extendable ribs covered by flaps of skin (patagia) along their sides. When spread, these look like **wings** and allow the lizard to glide between trees. - **"Fin":** A small iconic **throat flap** (gular flag) under the chin, often more brightly colored in males, used during displays. - **Tail:** Long and slender, used for balance during gliding. - **Head:** Small, angular head with big, alert eyes. When at rest, the "wings" lie flat against the body. When gliding, they leap and spread the ribs/patagia to catch the air, looking like a tiny dragon with wings. If you meant **Draco** in a fantasy or mythological context (such as a dragon), let me know and I can describe that too!

Draco, in the context you're referring to, is usually associated with two things: 1) The constellation named Draco: It's a constellation in the far northern sky that resembles a dragon, hence the name Draco. It's not exactly obvious at first glance how the stars shape a dragon, as it often requires much imagination, but you can find some illustrations or star maps online. 2) The genus of reptiles known as Draco: They are small tree-dwelling lizards found in Southeast Asia and India. They are often referred to as "flying dragons" due to their ability to glide using a set of elongated ribs that form wings when extended. Dracos are usually brownish or greyish in color and their body lengths range from 19 to 23 cm. If you're referring to a different "Draco", such as Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter, a fictional character, please do specify.
