The wing 'finger' bones are very long to wrap the thin flight membrane taut around them. The shoulder bones are thick to handle the large wing muscles needed to fly. The canine and incisor teeth of a dragon are long and razor sharp, but also have molars to chew their food instead of eating it whole. The dragon has two types of teeth because of it being an omnivore (It will eat meat and plant food). The dragon is able to dislocate its jaw, as some snakes are able to do, to grab large objects. A dragon's jaw is large to accommodate the very strong muscles around it. The dragon's bones are very strong, but hollow and light. Large head, long neck, broad shoulders, thick legs, strong tail, and very large wings. The Western dragon Eudraco magnificus occidentalis has a sturdy skeleton structure. The wonderful new dragon biology/physiology pictures done for Here Be Dragons! If you must, please link instead of re-writing this information.Thanks.
Please enjoy the information here, but do not use this information on other web-sites or publications. This is about what the dragon is made up of and what makes it unique in the animal world. This is a study of the physiology of a dragon created for HERE BE DRAGONS! and to share with the world how dragons may actually be part of this place we know as Earth. Ever wonder what a dragon looked like from the inside out?
