Anatomy
Ranging from the size of a cat to a large dog, Bobtail dragons are extremely adaptable and varying in coat length, colours, patterns, and mutations - no two dragons are the same.
They all seem to have the same short, silky furred tail and soft round snout.
With soft grippy paws, they have semi opposable dew claws which work somewhat like thumbs for gripping, this allows them to climb reasonably well, and hold objects like food between their lil grabbers.
Their teeth are somewhat small and reptile like, but very sharp and designed to eat almost anything. Favourite foods vary within individuals, because of this they will eat almost anything - they aren’t fussy!
Fur length depends on the environment in which they were raised, but most have soft plush fur covering their bodies and longer, silkier fur covering their tails, on their legs and around their necks - some have fur so long it becomes a ‘mane’.
Despite this they don’t need to be brushed, their tongues are specially adapted for grooming and have short bristles, similar to a cats tongue.
They have a bone structure similar to a hare, but with a larger, rounder skull that supports large fuzzy ears.
Their hearing is reasonably good, with eyesight and sense of smell being above average in the animal kingdom.

History
Bobtail Dragons are not a new discovery - more a new “Release”.
Years ago They were found roaming the planet in various countries,
Popping up in the most random places.
Nobody really knew what they were, or where they came from.
Many sightings and reports were sent in to the newspaper, with stories of these fluffy dragons invading people’s homes, helping themselves to pet food and raiding trash cans.
For months social media was flooded by videos of people unexpectedly coming across one of these fluffy invaders in the most unusual places, such as in cars with open windows, on tops of buildings and, even in one case, hiding in someones bathtub.
People began to get suspicious of where they came from, and stopped posting funny videos instead calling 911 when things got too weird.
After a long debate with the authorities, scientists decided to capture every one of these
Strange animals and keep them in a large laboratory for further study of their behaviour.
For quite some time these small dragons have been carefully and selectively bred in special enclosures with differing climates, and are found to be very adaptable with varying fur length, colour and patterns.
No two dragons are the same - though they all seem to have the short fluffy tail they are named for.
After many years of experimentation and careful observation, the head of research has declared these animals non threatening, and is allowing them to be released to the public as pets.
The public, who had long since forgotten all about these temporary terrors, are now scrambling to adopt these adorable fuzzballs.
Their intelligence and playful nature make them ideal family pets, and their cheeky behaviour has earned them a place among the most popular pet stars with their wacky antics.
Now sold worldwide, Bobtail dragons are becoming a huge hit.
Their ability to adapt to their surroundings and keen sense of smell makes them ideal for almost any job, and they are quickly becoming popular as working animals as well as pets.
So whether you’re looking for a pet, an employee, or a friend, adopting a BT Dragon is the right way to go. Hey - why don’t you check out the dragons currently for adoption?

Breeding
Bobtail dragons aren’t mammals, but “Monotremes”, meaning they lay eggs but still produce milk for their young.
The average clutch contains up to four eggs, but since both the parents take turns with incubation there is a very small chance that any should die.
Once hatched the babies rely on their parents for food, their mother for milk and comfort and their father for protection.
Bobtail dragons can breed up to 3 times in a lifetime, for this reason they take extremely good care of their hatchlings, dedicating many hours to the care of their offspring.
They are very loyal mates, and often mate for life and show extreme emotion when a loved one or family member passes away, some refusing to eat and thus starving themselves.
Often parents will be so focused on providing for their babies they forget about themselves, putting themselves in unnecessary danger often ending in death - in the wild they are often hit by cars, drowned, or killed off by predators all in the rush to feed their young.
When bred in captivity raising young is much safer, provided there is a safe environment to do so.
Sometimes orphaned babies are put up for adoption and taken into loving homes, where they quickly bond with their owners and forge strong relationships with those around them.
