Since dispersing into Southeast Asian rainforests, Pytochozoon, like other forest-dwelling vertebrates, adapted to facilitate gliding.

[2] All species in the genus Ptychozoon are characterized by cryptic coloration and elaborate webs surrounding the neck, limbs, trunk, and tail.

Also it does a swoop at the end of its glide to land softly.

A similar adaptation is found in geckos of the genus Cosymbotus.

[3] Nota bene: A binomial authority in parentheses indicates that the species was originally described in a genus other than Ptychozoon.
