Kuhl’s flying gecko: Does it really fly?

The flying gecko (Ptychozoon kuhli), also known as Kuhl’s flying gecko, is a true little natural acrobat. Its side flaps, webbed feet and flattened tail all help it glide over short distances. It does not truly fly; instead, it skillfully glides through the air. It looks almost like a tiny living dragon moving from one surface to another.
