Dragons of North Carolina


Oriental (where the Snow Goose is for the summer) is known as a "dragon" wildlife area and so it's a protected area for the hatching of dragons. In many out of the way places you can still catch a glimpse of a dragon guarding it's egg.



 

These eggs are unique in that the shells are transparent and you can see the dragon within. Since it takes years for a dragon egg to hatch many of these sites have been marked to keep the public from moving the eggs and subsequently being eaten by the adults who are guarding their eggs.

 If your ever in Oriental be careful of walking around for if the mosquitoes don’t bite you the dragons just might!
