Coelacanth

Coelacanth fossils are commonly found in both ocean and freshwater. Now they live in the West Indian Ocean and Indonesia. They were thought to have gone extinct in the late Cretaceous period, but were found still alive off the coast of South Africa in 1938. The name coelacanth comes from the latin Cœlacanthus meaning hollow spine.

best thing about tumblr is seeing pictures of Weird Creatures I'd never heard of before

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"
