Emersondraco hibberti
Different species of dragons can be highly variable in diet and size. Hibbert’s dragon, a denizen of southeast Asian jungles 100 million years in the future, grows between one and two meters in wingspan, with females being slightly larger on average. It is more omnivorous than many other dragon species; its diet is roughly evenly split between fruits and smaller animals such as birds and other lizards.
The wings of dragons evolved from skin membranes that first appeared to assist with gliding and parachuting. All of the fingers on the hand still bear the adhesive pads of their ancestors, allowing dragons to cling onto vertical surfaces such as tree trunks and rock faces. Digits 3, 4, and 5 each have a wider proximal portion with adhesive setae, and a narrow distal portion that supports the wing membrane. Two toes on the foot have also been coopted to support the wing membrane. 100 million years of evolution has honed the strength of these toe pads; the body can still be supported even by fewer digits.
