Chinese water dragon (Physignathus cocincinus)

The Chinese water dragon is a species of agamid lizard native to China and mainland Southeast Asia. Chinese water dragons can grow up to 1 m in total length, including tail, and can live from ten to fifteen years. Like many other reptiles the Chinese water dragon possesses a small, iridescent, photosensitive spot between their eyes referred to as the pineal eye that is thought to help thermoregulate their bodies by sensing differences in light to assist with basking and seeking shelter after sunset. The Chinese water dragons are most commonly found along the banks of freshwater lakes and streams. They are active during the day (diurnal), and spend most of their time in the trees or plants (arboreal). If threatened, the dragon will drop from the trees into the water and either swim to safety or remain submerged for up to 25 minutes. Though they will also eat vegetation, the diet of the water dragon consists mainly of insects, supplemented with an occasional small fish, mammal or reptile.

Five Books About Ancient Rome

Hadrian’s Wall. For me, that’s where it all started. Several childhood summers spent exploring the forts and watchtowers along the northern frontier, imaginary sword in hand. All with one eye trained north—checking for the oncoming horde. There’s something about Ancient Rome that keeps a tight grip on our collective imaginations. As a setting, it provides a perfect playground in which to set books, films, TV shows and even video games. The historical figures from the period continue to intrigue us—especially the mad, bad emperors. Here, I’ve picked out five novels which use Ancient Rome to construct different types of stories: from pure historical dramas, to crime, to science fiction—and even included a novel written during the period itself!
