Since we are on the topic of believable dragons, here’s a wonderful anatomical chart by Todd Lockwood.

Believability has always been a large part of Todd’s dragon designs. He is hoping to explore that notion further, and create a complete skeletal chart to accompany this piece.

Todd says:

“The skeletal chart might also include details of how the bones are part of the respiratory system, like an advanced form of real-world birds: some of the long, hollow bones are useful in a bird’s lungs, which are not bellows like ours, with air entering and leaving through the same opening, but more like a tube in which air enters at one end and leaves at the other. The hollow interior of a dragon’s bones ought to be able to utilize oxygen too. Waste nothing!”
