As dragonologists, we must be prepared to refute those who claim that dragons are unreal. consider how many creatures there may be that are still unknown to accepted science. when our scientists first heard of the duck-billed platypus in 1797, they laughed. how could an egg-laying mammal with a duck's beak and webbed feet exist? even when shown physical evidence, they cried "fraud!" yet by 1884, even the most skeptical had changed their opinion. recently, Henry Stanley learned of another apparently mythical animal, the okapi, while searching for Dr. Livingstone. with a giraffe's horns and zebra's legs, it has so intrigued scientists that they are determined to find one. yet there is no one who is willing to mount an expedition to bring dragons the scientific attention they deserve!
The remarkable Okapi---
a mythical beast or new
scientific wonder of the
African Congo.
A duck-billed platypus---
some believed that the
original specimen was a
stitched-together fake.
