Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It always seems to be hungry.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

The bane of squirrels everywhere, this cheery little male dedicates his time to memorizing where they've piled nuts, digging up the stashes and happily consuming them himself. This usually leads to the squirrels starving to death during the winter, at which point he gleefully eats them too.
