Hatchling will die if it doesn’t grow up in: 4 days and 11 hours

Aww... It’s a cute baby drake. Its dark colors resemble the night.

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

Young drakes 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 marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own.

(The owner of this hatchling is accepting aid from others.)
