Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon... except for the tangle of dangerous-looking vines surrounding it...

Now there are even more vines. Perhaps something is happening?

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.

This hatchling was an eyewitness in the trial against a human called Billy Joel. Mr. Joel was accused of being an arsonist, but the hatchling could confirm that Mr. Joel didn't start the fire. No, he didn't light it, but tried to fight it. Subsequently, Mr. Joel has been acquitted of the charge.
