It’s Not Daenerys Targaryen’s Dragon, Its Tenerife’s Lizard

The dragons of Daenerys Targaryen have captured the hearts of viewers of Game of Thrones. Fire-breathing and powerful, able to destroy enemies in a quick blow, they are the majestic creatures we all wish to see. In the real world, though, dragons do not exist. Seeing them is simply not possible, but that does not mean we cannot get close. In your travels to El Teide, Tenerife, you can see the local wildlife. One such wildlife is the Tenerife lizard, as close to dragons as we have. Though not large, winged, or fire-breathing, they are majestic all on their own and certainly a beauty to behold.

The Tenerife Lizard

With males able to grow to just over a foot in length, these are sizable lizards. They are like baby dragons, similar to the dragons in Game of Thrones when they originally hatched. Large and beautiful, they really do fit the majestic image you would want. It is part of the reason they remind some people of dragons. While they are in no way related, obviously, they have the same beauty and distinctive appearance.

Part of the appearance is their colorful markings. These lizards stand out for their appearance, being large and beautiful. They attract a lot of local attention for that reason, too. People love seeing the lizards and they add more to the visit.
