Asian Water Dragon Physignathus cocincinus
When you see a lizard "flying" through the air (when it leaps out of a tree), in the distant past, you may have thought you were seeing flying dragon. When it landed in water and swam away, you just might call that a Water Dragon. The Chinese people celebrate the Water Dragon in festivals and parades in which large puppet-like dragon "flies" through the street with many people holding poles attached to each part of the dragon to control it. |

The
Asian or Chinese Water Dragon spends its time in trees over water eating plants
and insects. When threatened, it will leap out of the tree and in to the water
where it can swim away to safety.
