Did you know? Contrary to their common depiction as fire-breathing, flying creatures in mythology and fantasy, actual dragons are believed to have been based on the discovery of fossils from prehistoric animals such as pterosaurs and dinosaurs, which likely inspired ancient cultures to create stories about these fantastical beings.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five coloring ideas for your dragon picture:
