the cameramen who captured this are legends

[kenel]

The way this was shot, the narrator... everything makes this perfect

[Trampflick]

Sir David Attenborough. A true delight on earth.

[Quiscalus]

Aw man, I was expecting him to say "fight... or flight". Would have been the perfect pun. Oh well. The video was stunning, regardless.

I love nature shows narrated by David Attenborough! He's a terrific storyteller!

[azrael]

"Now he must choose... Fight... or...

(Flight! Sir Attenborough is gonna say flight and it's gonna glide away!)

.. or FLEE."

(my life is a lie.)

Awesome !!! How his wings appear is UNREAL !!

[jonathantorres]

Sucks to know i won’t be alive when they evolve into actually flying lizards, I MEAN seriously look how close they are resembling a dragon

[-sl]

Red Bull is probably trying to sponsor the lizard

Attenborough did it again. Always a pleasure to watch his animals footage. Thanks for sharing

[Mr._White.]

I love the scenes in Sir Attenborough. It always presents the living being through a story with which it evokes emotions from the viewer. The music background is excellent as always. Thank you! :)

Dammmmn. The writer of this script missed an amazing opportunity. "A dead end....safety is a long way away....now he must choose....Fight or....Flight!" Sigh

[dreamxcviii]

"It's a very fast and efficient way to move through the jungle" At that moment I imagined a bird coming in and snatching him off screen 😂

[carmzapple]

That wasn"t flying, that was falling with style.

[tenzwoser]

so out all the trees, it could have landed, the camera person was in the right place and the right time to capture it? dam what a legend.

[TheTaekwondoAcolyte]

This is now one of my most favorite videos ever!

[kingbrandon]

It would have been perfect if he said "fight...or flight"

[LaCheleWallace]

This footage is everything. Draco lizards are super intriguing.

This can be seen in western ghats, karantaka, India. Also very famous book called karvalo is based on this where group of ppl go on search to find this in dense forest.
