Dragons have long been creatures of legend -- or have they? There are a number of reptilian creatures out there that may have contributed to the legends -- from dinosaur remains to lizards. In the case of cordylus giganteus, or smaug giganteus, it definitely has a strong resemblance to some depictions of a dragon, though it is much smaller. The "giant" part of its name refers to its size in relation to other members of cordylid family.
