There are some hissing, exhaling sounds, and jerky movements. afterwards he seems fine, and resumes eating successfully the following day.

Why was the stegosaurus or 'roofed lizard' so called?

When Othniel Charles Marsh discovered Stegosaurus in 1877, he believed that the plates laid on Stegosaurus's sides like the shingles on a roof. That is why he called it Stegosaurus, meaning "roof lizard" in Greek. Now we know that the plates stood up vertically.

Does the flying lizard have predators?

every animal in earth must have predators so absolutely it has and this information i took it from my book

From what I've researched they don't have too many predators because of their amazing gliding ability. If they feel threatened first they may perform a combination of dewlap(extra skin under the chin) or wing extension, or bob his body up and down. Extending the wings and dewlap makes the Flying Dragon appear larger, this their way of saying, "Don't mess with me! I'm bigger than you can handle!" when usually its just a bluff.

The one thing I found that hunted it was the flying snake or technically parachuting snake because it just falls from tree tops, it has no way of accelerating once in the air.

It climbs to the canopy searching for these lizards but the lizards have a much better way of escaping so they're mostly unsuccessful, without the element of surprise.

I didn't find much else on what hunts the flying dragon lizard but I would guess a bird would have the easiest time catching these amazing gliding dragons.

How do you treat a lizard bite?

If you survive, clean the wound immediately and thoroughly.

The bacteria in most lizards mouths (and especially the Komodo) are dangerous.

If you have no sterile liquids available immediately use urine- in healthy people it is sterile! Piss on the wound to wash it. (Don't let the urine stand around in a container for many minutes.)

Seek professional medical attention as soon as possible.

Is it illegal to catch a lizard and keep it as a pet?

No, and there are many reasons for this:

1. Firstly, they are a protected species, so it would be illegal to keep one.

2. They are endangered, have a restricted habitat, and only live on a few islands in Indonesia.

3. They are the world's largest lizard and are extremely powerful. They have large claws and sharp teeth and it would take quite a few people to handle one. Komodo dragons do not usually attack people, preferring other game such as deer. But there are documented cases of them stalking and killing human beings.

4. Since they do feed on carrion (dead animals) their mouths are filled with toxic bacteria. Infections by these organisms would be a serious factor in treating a bite wound.

5. The main danger of a Komodo dragon's bite, however, is due not to bacteria that live on its teeth, but to venom. Recent research has discovered that the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful poison which actually thins the blood, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The sharp, serrated teeth of a komodo dragon are used to open a gaping wound in its prey, enabling the venom to flow easily.

6. During mating season they become extra aggressive, and there is no cage that could keep one in during the mating season.
