Fossilized remains from a giant flying reptile, dubbed by scientists The Dragon of Death, have been discovered in Argentina. The newly discovered species was the size of a bus and hunted prey from Earth’s skies around 86 million years ago. When fully extended, its wing span measured a massive nine meters (30 ft).

In China and Hong Kong, dragons are a big affair and always have been. They are featured in legends and myths, superstitions, on MahJong tiles, on Dragon boats, and as Chinese Zodiac signs. Even the weather is ruled by dragons.
