?Characteristics and ecology of dragons

The ultimate dragon encyclopedia that approaches the truth about over 70 species of dragons

Dragons (Dragon) is a type of mythical beast that has many similarities with reptiles such as snakes and dinosaurs. There are countless cases reported around the world, and they have a strong presence as a "king" with strong bodies, special powers, and high intelligence. This book thoroughly explains its ecology and characteristics.

*All kanji in the text are written in furigana.



Dragon is derived from the Proto-Indo-European word *der?, or "to see," and is reminiscent of the hypnotic gaze of a viper. The kanji for "dragon'' also resembles a snake standing with its throat swollen. When Indian Buddhist scriptures entered China, the cobra spirit Naga was translated into Chinese as dragon or dragon. The reason why the kanji for "dragon" is more rugged than dragon is said to be because the model is a crocodile. Crocodiles are the closest living reptiles to dinosaurs.
?@The kun reading for dragon (dragon) comes from the word "tatsu'' at the beginning of the words "tornado'' and "seahorse,'' which means "to rise up,'' and it applies to both the threatening posture of a snake and the rising whirlwind. The reason why a carp that climbs a waterfall becomes a dragon is because of upward movement.
Apparently, dragons appear where the appearance of scale animals such as fish, reptiles, and dinosaurs merges with the violent natural forces of earth, water, fire, and wind. Let's get a little closer to the truth in this book.
