The flying reptile named Cryodrakon boreas lived in what is now western Canada about 76 million years ago, according to a study published last week.
“The animal, when alive, would not have been a frozen dragon,” the study’s coauthor Mike Habib, a paleontologist at the University of Southern California, told National Geographic.
“It would have [been] flying in a landscape that would have been reasonably temperate ... but a hell of a lot warmer than central Alberta is now.”
