A genus of tropical Australian lizards that are tree-dwelling and display cryptic coloration to blend with bark and vegetation.
From Greek dendro- (tree) + draconis (dragon). The genus name identifies these as tree-dwelling lizards, using the traditional 'dragon' suffix common in reptile nomenclature.
Dendrodra lizards are basically invisible in their forest habitat—their mottled bark-like coloration is so perfect that you can be staring right at one and not see it, which is an incredible survival strategy in a place where every branch-like spot could be a dangerous predator!
