A three-headed dragon statue in Russia. It’s representative of Zmey Gorynych, a dragon in Slavic mythology.

Attn @petermorwood…

Dragons are extraordinarily good mimics, escaping human predation by disguising themselves as common airliners, some even going so far as to sport crude copies of carrier logos. This makes them difficult to track, though most sources agree that the dragon population is critically endangered.

While there has been some success with halting large-scale dragon hunting, conservationists are still concerned about a recent spate of crashes in otherwise healthy adults.

Given that dragons communicate via radio signals and that most crashes occur near military radar stations, it is theorized that the radar may be disorienting the dragons. Investigations are still ongoing.

This makes me so happy

So I made a little size chart of Dragons of Middle-Earth

I think these are right but if anyone has quotes or anything to indicate something different, send them my way and I’ll fix it.

holy shet that’s some huge fucking dragons goddamn

And considering that film!Smaug is as enormous as he is? I’d be scared to come up against Ancalagon. O_O

This puts things in hilarious perspective though, because Smaug is all “I AM FIRE I AM DEATH MY CLAWS ARE SPEARS MY WINGS ARE A HURRICANE”, when really he’s practically a chihuahua.
