There is a dragon that actually exists on Earth but has gone missing without anyone knowing

Dragon is the name of some real animals. Unfortunately, many species do not survive for too long.

Everyone thinks dragons are fictional creatures, exist only in novels, comics and movies. But if you consider dragons to be a name, it turns out that on Earth, there are also some species that are considered dragons.

This is the dragon in the movie.

Of course, these are not stately dragons that fire fire like Drogon in Games of Thrones . That dragon does not exist. In return, the dragon species of real life are also very interesting. The most famous are the Komodo dragons - Indonesia's scary mascot with the ability to prey upon the superhuman and powerful toxins in saliva.

This is the biggest dragon in real life.

And also, we have smaller dragons, such as lizards in the image below, also called dragons . Its name is an earless dragon in the grassland earless dragon , and unfortunately their habitat has been destroyed so badly that the last time it was seen was 50 years ago.

The scientific name of this creature is Tympanocryptis , and they are rare creatures called dragons . This name has become even more popular since they were listed as endangered, in order to increase public attention to an endangered species.

This is also a dragon.

Earless dragons are lizard-like, wingless, about 15cm long and live on low grass. They have no outer ear, so they are called "earless dragons".

There are four species of T. lineata, T. pinguicolla, T. osbornei, and T. mccartneyi - located hundreds of kilometers apart. The earless dragon in the subspecies T. pinguicolla, once native to Melbourne.

Before that, all 4 species were combined into one because it was difficult to distinguish. It was only when the Victoria museum experts used evidence from DNA and X-rays that we identified them as different subspecies. And also because they are so similar, but people must realize that a fast of this dragon has disappeared.

In recent decades, Australia has recorded the extinction of many animal species, at a much higher rate than other continents. At least 29 species of mammals have disappeared due to destroyed habitats, alien animals, and climate change.

In particular, the reptiles also suffer bigger tragedies. It is unclear because they are difficult to detect or have not been thoroughly studied, but there are many reptiles that are missing without anyone noticing. At least 31 species are listed as extinct, or extinct in the wild.

Recently, Australian opinion is focused on another reptile, the Bellinger River turtle, which has lost 90% of its population due to virus attacks. They found 10 turtles without viruses, and are planning to breed them in captivity.

Hopefully, their future does not fall into the catastrophic scene as the other little dragons have suffered.
