Dragons (Morgana's Observatory) Dragon bones and teeth, that is, the bones and teeth of extinct animals, were once prominently displayed in the drugstores of Peking, Hong Kong, and other metropolitan centers in China. Sometimes the words dragon and serpent are used interchangeably, but this itself became a source of confusion, for the snake was the animal that the Hebrews hated and feared the most; the snake, and thus the dragon, became identified with evil and the Devil. The belief that a dragon was a creature with feet and wings was reinforced, even if it was not begun, by medieval monster makers, those clever forgers who pieced together parts of different animals and sold the exotic results to collectors of wonders and curios. www.dreamscape.com /morgana/galatea2.htm   (2789 words)

Chronicle editor bitten at L.A. zoo / Komodo dragon attacks Bronstein The dragon, which has serrated teeth designed for ripping flesh, clamped down on Bronstein's foot and thrashed its body around, said Stone, who was watching from outside the cage.

Enter the sea dragon Due to their many similarities, sea dragons are classified, along with pipefish, in the same family as sea horses, i.e. Encyclopædia Britannica notes that fossil sea horses (with which it appears to include sea dragons) are unknown, and there is only ‘limited paleontological [fossil] data’ available to trace the (alleged) evolutionary history of the order to which they belong (Gasterosteiformes).
