While the vast majority of the Parareptiles died out during the Great Dying (aka the Permian-Triassic mass extinction) 252 million years ago, the draconimorpha endured. The surviving members of draconimorpha can be classified into 5 distinct clades: Thalattophidia (sea serpents), Ophiosuchoidea (wyrms), Volanosauria (wyverns), Therosuchia (Drakes) and Draconia (dragons). A handsome, dryly tongue-in-cheek volume. . . . All in all, a delightful treatment for readers fascinated by dragons.

But if you're willing to let go of the resentment at that, or if you just read it for the fun of it, it's great. An interesting, interactive book that young children would adore.

Interestingly, not all the taxa within this clade appear to be very closely related, and it's likely that there are several other (now extinct) taxa whose discovery might help better resolve their phylogenetic relationships.Steer, Dugald A; Clamp, James; Overdrive Inc (2011).

Dragonologists, both amateur and academic, will hail Dr. Drake’s lavishly illustrated, ‘rediscovered’ guide. The Frost Dragon (scientifically known as Draco Occidentalis Maritimus) is a dragon which lives in the polar habitats of the arctic and antarctic . To cope with the cold temperatures, some subspecies have developed a layer of fur around them. The fictional premise of this book is that it is a facsimile of a lost work originally printed in 1895 and supposedly written by a dragonologist named Dr. Ernest Drake [2] with the current publisher being unable to determine the truth of the matter. It presents the research and findings of Dr. Ernest Drake on the dragons of the world, their biology, behavior, and history of their interactions with humans. The book is vastly illustrated and contains a number of smaller, additional texts and tactile ‘specimens’ such as dragon scales, wing membrane, and dragon dust. [3] Format [ edit ]
