Greater Spotted Drakes are found in open pine and oak forests. They are among the larger end of the spectrum, but are quite laid back and feed mostly on plant material. They are ambush predators and rely on their dappled markings for camouflage. Females are usually larger than males, though males are brighter in color. In the breeding season the male attracts a mate by making loud, low-pitched bugles, followed by an aerial courtship dance as proof of his quality as a father to her offspring.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

Pam has always known she's a female in a male body and insists that everyone respect this. To the doubters, she says, "It's in my code," and won't elaborate further. Yes, she's small for a 'female' but she doesn't let that slow her down. She loves to sit outside and watch thunderstorms. Pam's hoping to one day find her perfect dragon mate. Until then, she actively promotes quality for all dragons, regardless of their gender, size, or breed.
