Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It seems to enjoy sunbathing.

And look! It has grown much bigger! 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.

Kimmunjara is a beautiful but rambunctious little hatchling.  She likes to take baths, but she also loves to run out in the middle of a rain storm and stomp around in the puddles.  By the time her parents drag her back in, she is covered clear up to her shoulder blades in mud.  She likes to play games with other young hatchlings, and never likes to go to bed when she's told.
