These lizards are capable gliding flight their ribs and their connecting membrane may be extended to create “wings” patagia , the hindlimbs are flattened and wing-like in cross-section, and a flap on the neck (the gular flag) serves as a horizontal stabilizer and are sometimes used in warning to others.

Glides as long as 60 m (200 ft) have been recorded.
