"Quick, take a photo before it sees us"
Spinolurus australis is known for it's very nucturnal livestyle but only a few had so far the luck to watch these wonderful creatures during ther prefered daytime. In the heat of the day the animals normally sleep in small caves or self-dug burrows. They are the biggest animals of the australian continent and a relict of the Diprodon megafauna. Spinolurus is a herbivore which obtain much of it's water over the plants and small animals it feet, a adaption which was maybe the reason for its survival after the climate change 45000 years ago.

Before someone can ask: yes this is a dragon.

Pflanzenfresser? Hätte ich nicht gedacht! 
Eher omnivor, aber Pflanzen werden mit dem alter immer lieber angenommen ^^
I like how you made it so that it was blurry as if you were taking a quick pick of this thing. And if its a dragon shouldn't it have bigger wings? . .

This is a flightless species 
I refuse to call them cryptids, these animals are hidden from the rest of the scientific world and are a pure myth on out level of understanding 
hmm, sounds cool 
Do aborigines hunt it or is this the one animal they have a taboo on?
The latter 
Actually they help to save this species
what does the latter mean?
>or is this the one animal they have a taboo on<
Do they have a belief about it that makes the animal sacred?
Yes, they belive that these animals are related to the rainbow snakes
is that a wing i see? so small...
Yes it's a wing
Devolved wings?
Yup! (I know, it's late)
This should be In a sequel of JP. Infact we Need a Sequel.. ... Lol
