A gliding lizard.
So, they're scientific name is Draco Sumatranus, which is fucked up because it mashes ancient greek (Draco) and latin (Sumatranus), which shows a pitfall of zoologists in charge of naming animals aren't linguists.

Anyway, ignoring the fact this scientific name is taken from two different languages, it means Sumatran Dragon, which is a way cooler name than gliding lizard (not that 'gliding lizard' isn't cool to begin with).
