All About Dragons

Dragons aren't real, of course, but scientists once believed they were closely related to snakes! In 1640, a professor of natural science at the University of Bologna, Ulissis Aldrovandi, wrote about "winged dragons flying through Africa."
A female dragon is known as a dragoness. A small or young dragon is called a dragonet.
