I love it!
Did you read the comments? Especially No.6? I stopped reading after seeing so much VERY bad english and totally superfluous comments some people seem to think it's necessary to make when it's anonymous

Those people must be terrifically out of touch. I remember seeing things about those little lizards quite a while ago. They can actually glide for short distances like a sugar glider or flying squirrel. There are actually two different lizards, Draco Sumatranus (the one in the article) and Draco Volans. The former is thought to be a subspecies of the latter.

I think the point was that it was a new variety - there is mention that it may be related to one of the other species. The headline was misleading.

I remember the colors and everything. Now, Draco Volans, which is supposed to be the more common variety, I don't remember seeing before.
