Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s very light and enjoys bouncing all around.

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.

"Balloon" dragons are so named because they are filled with a gas that makes them almost lighter than air, similar to balloons.  However, they are not prone to "bursting," as they are covered in tough skin and can deflate themselves if necessary.  However, they generally are slow moving.  They use their gas bladders to float to the tops of trees, where food is more abundant.  They can shift their weight from their backs to their fronts, allowing them to reach leaves and fruit.
