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.

One of the organisations involved in this and other research is the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT). No stranger to preserving South Africa's rare reptiles, EWT has also been pushing to have the venerable Smaug recognised as the country's "national lizard" in order to promote public awareness.
