Among the most remarkable of the gliding lizards of Skull Island is the almost fairylike feather devil. Totally unrelated to any of the other gliding lizards on the island, feather devils have d eveloped attenuated scales analogous to a bird’s feathers. These lay flat along the unique lizard’s sides while climbing and hunting, but flick open to allow the little insect-eater to flit from tree to tree in pursuit of prey.
