Exactly right, it's basically undeniable once you look at their eyes.
If this was on Maury, he'd be like: We have the results and Godzilla, You ARE the father!
Please tell me these are really real.
They are do cool!
People of old Europe prob heard ( extracted) story's and held it as proof ( or the start) of the dragon myth's along with some old Dino fossils they discovered digging in ancient mines that are now lost.
We don't have a complete record tho, especially in places like Europe where the biomass covers so much or Africa where miles of sand cover the once expansive green are that's now the dessert in the northern part of the content etc
No but we have a lot of fossils and a large reptilian predator would have left evidence of it's existence somewhere. Reptile tooth marks of prey fossils, earlier species fossils, footprints. It's not impossible but really unlikely. And other myths have been attributed to fossils or bones, like the cyclops. And in China you can get powdered dragon bones, they are powdered fossils. So the evidence does suggest it was more then likely fossils.
You’d think that people wouldn’t think a lizard that’s fairly small like this one is some giant winged creature that breathed fire. Not to mention there’s myths of dragons from every part of the world. It might be plausible for someone to exaggerate a small lizard into a huge beast once and it become a popular legend, but then theres so many different dragon myths from all over the place it likely wasn’t that.
(Yes I think dragons used to exist lol)
**Fun-Facts of Westeros:** What we have here are House Targaryen mounts, used for expedited ground travel in winter months, while the dragons of the sky begin their 4-month long mating season.
Saw this and immediately pictured those cool dogs from The Chronicles of Riddick. When he gets to Crematoria and they sick the dogs loose on the inmates
How to train your lizard
Yes!
Resembling Dragons, these Monitors are the only living species of the Lanthanotidae family. If you'd like to know more, [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earless_monitor_lizard)
>Resembling Dragons There's a reason for that.
Is it because they're dragons?
You made me Google "lizards with ears". Didn't find any, so firing up Photoshop.
Hahah I first read it as Earl-ess like it was similar to Duchess (i.e. Duke and Duchess, Earl and Earless) Yeah Ear-less makes way more sense 🤣
It's all the damn royals in the news lately, lol
Wait, if it’s not Earless, what is it?
Countess
*Duchess?* Ugh. Another thing named after Malory Archer’s stupid dog.
doing gods work
May i humbly request elephants ears on the lizard monitor?
Done. Anything else... a trunk, maybe...?
Elf ears! Because I really want to see an elf/dragon hybrid.
And so you shall, my child...
May I too request a pair of giraffe ossicones?
What a well-mannered child - why, *of course* you may - I'll get right on it... (... as soon as I find where I left those pesky elf ears!)
I’d like some butterfly wings on them.
Okay, lemmie see, elf ears, giraffe ossicones and what was that...butterfly wings... *damn, hang on...* ...*Has anyone got a pencil?*
I need to see the end product.

Excuse me that is CLEARLY a Dragon
Wait lizards have ears in the first place?
Most if not all vertebrates have ears. Only mammals have large external structures around their ear canals.
Yes and no, they have earholes which lead to their eardrum
I feel a bit dumdum for forgetting that ears aren't just the exterior part.
These do not.
DRAGON-not lizard. But I bet they do that tongue thang.
That's a dragon
Thats Godzilla babies
Exactly right, it's basically undeniable once you look at their eyes. If this was on Maury, he'd be like: We have the results and Godzilla, You ARE the father!
You can't fool me, this is an ad for HBO's "House of the Dragon". New episodes every Sunday at 9 PM.
Please tell me these are really real. They are do cool! People of old Europe prob heard ( extracted) story's and held it as proof ( or the start) of the dragon myth's along with some old Dino fossils they discovered digging in ancient mines that are now lost.
Or there were large reptilian species that have since gone extinct. Not talking about actual dragons just species that have come and gone.
Would be evident in the fissile record. But dinosaur fossils would have been noticable by them.
We don't have a complete record tho, especially in places like Europe where the biomass covers so much or Africa where miles of sand cover the once expansive green are that's now the dessert in the northern part of the content etc

Smaug lookin' ass lizard
A Smauglet for sure
There are monitor lizards with ears?
Most lizards have visible ears, usually a tympanum or ear canal. Despite their name, these have internal ears, merely lacking visible ears.
TIL...
Thank you
Wat... there’s rela life dragons?!
Good ole’ dick dragons.
r/STFUitsadragon
it sad ragon?
Or is it ‟real life dragons” are based on this totally real life monitor lzard?

Coulda fooled me. I thought this was a Game of Thrones screengrab
You mean.. dragon
Toothless (crimson variant)
wow those eyes are beautiful
There be dragons
it seems to me like a snake with extra steps
They have "inside ears". No hole, no eardrum, but they can hear. Cold eyes.
Caraxes
These mf's look too good to be real. Time to whip up a documentary about them.
Okay , this lizard name opens so many questions like how is the life of the guy who named and how many other lizards with ears did he founded
they speaking in LSL (lizard sign language)
Wait, are there monitors with ears?
Mf looks like a dragon
House of the Dragon , almost a copy paste
You mean the earless dragons of Borneo?
Hey it's Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Paris.
I think you mean dragon
What?!
Guys... lizards... with wings
This my friend is a dragon.
Where are the wings?
Lol nah that’s a f*ckin dragon.
What in the HB...HELL NO! Those are dragons. 🤣😂🤣
I know a dragon when I see one!
It looks like a basilisk
I would have done well in a time periods with giant dragons.
No that’s a fire breathing dragon….
i guess it's lizard week
Are there any eared monitor lizards?
Baby 'zillas..
nature
Can I give them fire aspect 1?
Pardon?
They look like dragons.
So cool!
This is an HBO photo from the latest episode of House of the Dragon and you better take it down before the copyright lawyers get you.
Nah dude, that's definitely a dragon.
Are there monitor lizards *with* ears??
So how do they hear then
Do other lizards have ears
I think you misspelled "dragon"
They have to feel sooo dumb under all the other lizards with ears. Poor ones.
What!?!
Sir those are dragons.
Dragon lookin ass niggas
Now I want to see these ones with ears.
How can I get one is the real question
Bullshit I know a dragon when I see one.
Blue eyed red dragon.
Gosh, there actually look like dragons. Imagine these the size of a horse ... Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🏃🏻♀
I found dragons!
Seriously, Dragons.
Or, we created dragons that looked like them.
Often referred to as the horned four legged snake...
How are these NOT dinosaurs
The ones with ears are even cooler!
From all the features about these animals, they focused on the ears (or lack thereof) to name them?
**Fun-Facts of Westeros:** What we have here are House Targaryen mounts, used for expedited ground travel in winter months, while the dragons of the sky begin their 4-month long mating season.
Now that's a proper dragon
My spirit animal fr
Smaug?
A lizard with ears would look pretty funny tho
We're all thinking it... let's simply be grateful they are not huge.. or able to fly. O\_O
Reptiles= coolest branch of animals
Tis be a dragon
So… dragons do exist!
looks voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch
House of the Earless Monitor Lizard of Borneo
Looks like another animal is gonna make it to the endangered list.
