Kuehneosaurus is an extinct genus of Late Triassic reptile which was less than one metre long (about two feet), and had ribs which jutted out from its body as much as one foot (30 cm), which were connected by a membrane which allowed it to fly like the present day flying dragon. It is closely related to modern lizards and tuatara.
