Can you buy a dragon?
It's no longer a fantastical dream to buy your own pet dragon. Thanks to the exotic pet trade, there are many dragon lookalikes that can be kept as pets. Most existing 'dragons' in the pet trade are reptiles. Mythical dragons differ from each other; some have wings, horns, spikes, or plated backs.
Do reptiles pee?
Unlike the kidneys of mammals and birds, reptile kidneys are unable to produce liquid urine more concentrated than their body fluid. This is because they lack a specialized structure called a loop of Henle, which is present in the nephrons of birds and mammals.
