Draco sumatranus or Common Gliding Lizard.

Dragon ...Is there really a creature named like that? It seems that name is very closely related to fairy tales ...But how about if there are animals with a form that resembles a dragon, but has a much smaller size ....
Introducing: Draco sumatranus or Common Gliding Lizard. From its Latin name, we know that this creature was called the Dragon Sumatra by scientists. Although called a dragon, this creature is actually a lizard which has the shape of the wing skin on both sides. 





These beautiful animals can be found on the island of Sumatra and is a wealth of fauna of Indonesia that has no beat. Sumatra addition, these animals can also be found in Borneo, Malaysia and Singapore. Generally, he lived in a tree. But when they wanted to lay eggs, the females will fall to the ground.Both the skin on the body can function as a wing that helps lizard jumps from one tree to another. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this creature has the body size of about 9 cm with a tail slightly longer than that.
Wow ... the dragon, there is a miniature of her,,,, fantastic!

Alphabet

There is a shocking news, the alphabet will lose one letter. The announcement came from the Commission on English Language Center (ELCC). After considering and debating this issue for over two years, ELCC finally decided to delete the letter "Z" from the English alphabet to simplify the phonetic aspects of language, and to unite the American and British spelling. What about the fate of the words that have the letter "z" in it? According to the ELCC, the words that begin with "z" will now be replaced with "x". For example:
* Zero to xero* Zoo animals became xoo* Zone becomes xone* Zodiac into xodiac
While the letters "z" is not as the beginning of the word but the words will be replaced with "s". Examples include:
* Becomes visualise visualize* Analyze Becomes Analyse* Becomes materialize materialise
What is your opinion about this change? Would it really simplify the English language, or will it make things more confusing?
