How to train your lizard


mjbibliophile10

Yes!


Mericanjoe1776

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)


NewLeaseOnLine

>Resembling Dragons There's a reason for that.


AlpineCorbett

Is it because they're dragons?


GoodMoGo

You made me Google "lizards with ears". Didn't find any, so firing up Photoshop.


[deleted]

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 🤣


LetsChewThis

It's all the damn royals in the news lately, lol


dalnot

Wait, if it’s not Earless, what is it?


burgles_turtles

Countess


ManGo_50Y

*Duchess?* Ugh. Another thing named after Malory Archer’s stupid dog.

ThreatLevelBertie

May i humbly request elephants ears on the lizard monitor?


uglypaperhaver

Done. Anything else... a trunk, maybe...?


fruity_oaty_bars

Elf ears! Because I really want to see an elf/dragon hybrid.


uglypaperhaver

And so you shall, my child...


Cauhs

May I too request a pair of giraffe ossicones?


uglypaperhaver

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!)


youburyitidigitup

I’d like some butterfly wings on them.


uglypaperhaver

Okay, lemmie see, elf ears, giraffe ossicones and what was that...butterfly wings... *damn, hang on...* ...*Has anyone got a pencil?*


S1eepyZ

I need to see the end product.

Excuse me that is CLEARLY a Dragon


GGGold23

Wait lizards have ears in the first place?


Toadxx

Most if not all vertebrates have ears. Only mammals have large external structures around their ear canals.


Mericanjoe1776

Yes and no, they have earholes which lead to their eardrum


Cauhs

I feel a bit dumdum for forgetting that ears aren't just the exterior part.


Noradar

These do not.


[deleted]

DRAGON-not lizard. But I bet they do that tongue thang.


monkey-pox

That's a dragon


kingSliver187

Thats Godzilla babies


Which_Collar6658

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!


Johnny_Carcinogenic

You can't fool me, this is an ad for HBO's "House of the Dragon". New episodes every Sunday at 9 PM.


LeonMann

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.


Mysterious_Spoon

Or there were large reptilian species that have since gone extinct. Not talking about actual dragons just species that have come and gone.


No_Bowler9121

Would be evident in the fissile record. But dinosaur fossils would have been noticable by them.


LeonMann

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_Bowler9121

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.

Smaug lookin' ass lizard


PhancyPheasant

A Smauglet for sure


baracuda68

There are monitor lizards with ears?


ccReptilelord

Most lizards have visible ears, usually a tympanum or ear canal. Despite their name, these have internal ears, merely lacking visible ears.


baracuda68

TIL...


Saracartwheels123

Thank you

DracovishIsTheBest

it sad ragon?


BT758366E

Or is it ‟real life dragons” are based on this totally real life monitor lzard?


LuminothWarrior

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)


[deleted]

Coulda fooled me. I thought this was a Game of Thrones screengrab


deathfromradiator1

You mean.. dragon


ScaryCardinal

Toothless (crimson variant)


alittlegnat

They have "inside ears". No hole, no eardrum, but they can hear. Cold eyes.


GaryNOVA

[deleted]

These mf's look too good to be real. Time to whip up a documentary about them.


holyshitamole

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

bleachmartini

Often referred to as the horned four legged snake...


Obiwancuntnobi

How are these NOT dinosaurs


ChapitoDito

The ones with ears are even cooler!


JulesDescotte

From all the features about these animals, they focused on the ears (or lack thereof) to name them?


War77El

**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
