Description
This is a picture I did as a prize for of a Cretaceous variety of Dragon/Wyvern seen on an old Animal planet 'mockumentary' called "Dragons: A Fantasy Made real' that showed dragons as a hypothetical real world animal and how it might have naturally existed.
This particular type of dragon was a type alive in the Cretaceous period, and did not survive the same extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. It was part of a 3rd lineage of archosaurs, related to crocodilians, that had evolved the ability to fly. They supported larger mass by storing hydrogen from rotting meals in their gut, and could expel this hydrogen as fire be igniting it with chewed up platinum. This type of 2 legged dragon were quite large and could quarrel with Tyrannosaurs, but they did not survive the K-T Extinction event. Instead, it was descendants of a marine variety of dragons that had evolved a 3rd set of limbs as fins that survived the extinction event,, and then later evolved to life on land and then flight by evolving its fins into wings once more.
