It Turns Out, Dragons Are Real And They Live In South Africa
It’s not every day you find out a mythical creature is real and living on the same planet as you. Fans of shows like Game of Thrones, or movies like The Hobbit may have wanted to see a dragon at one point, or wished they were real. Well, I hope you’re sitting down because we’re about to blow your mind with these miniature dragons.
Legendary and powerful creatures of myth, the dragon's tale is always one of solitude and lonesomeness. No matter what the story, the dragon character is always a rare being- either chased away or hunted, they never seem to be plentiful. Unfortunately, the same is true for real-life dragons as well. Even ones who claim their name from legends. Named after the lead dragon in The Hobbit, Smaug, these spiky lizards look exactly like miniature dragons—and are now being decimated by poaching and development, scientists say.
