Baby Dragon

There is a really fascinating story coming in from the London papers this morning… the tale of a baby dragon preserved in a jar of formaldehyde for over a hundred years.

Found by an Oxfordshire man in his garage, the prevailing theory is that it is a clever fake, devised by German scientists in the late 19th century to out do rival English scientists. Speculation is that it is made of rubber or wax but it has reportedly not been opened, x-rayed, or examined yet so I suppose there is also the possibility that it is real.

Photos like this one show a very detailed, miniature dragon in a tall glass jar. Witnesses have described the intricate detail of claws, teeth, and even the umbilical cord.

Likely its a clever fake and we’ll never hear of it again, but I’ve always been one who believed that many of these types of legends have some basis in fact. Perhaps there is a lost fantastic reptile that gives the dragon its name.
