Scientists discovered a small, yellowish mountain horned dragon in Thailand and named it Acanthosaura syrax after a dragon from House of the Dragon. Found only in a narrow band of high-elevation forest, the distinctive new species could become a flagship for protecting its rare mountain habitat.
I really feel like those quotes are backwards…
It’s a dragon…
A type of lizard that is literally named dragon, but does not have wings.
A “dragon” is a fantasy creature that almost always has wings and breathes fire.
So, its: real life dragon.
Not: a real life “dragon”
That would imply we found an actual flying lizard with wing and four limbs.
