Chinese/Eastern Long Dragon

 

Eastern Long Dragons or Chinese dragons are a long;slender; wingless species of dragons and is one of  few dragonss to have fur, they stand on four legs size of the these dragons is fairly unknown due to to the high altitude mountainous areas with underground/ cave based hotsprings living at altitudes that could most likely be compared to that of Mt Everest's height (possibly for flight purposes) and they rarely ever come to the lowland other than to hunt with these dragons there are rare cases of some being found near low altitude and coastal living mainly semi-aquatic to completely aquatic lifestyles and having fur similar to that of seals and bears mixed with amphious features. As for their ability to fly is debatable but my theory is that they house a bladder that contains a type of Gas that allows for the ability to fly to amazing heights and the way they regulate it's flow through out it's body is with a set of veins and muscle tissue creating a Psuedo-heart helping to pump the gas through their body,which is created by ingesting certain foods and chemicals which also is what possibly  gives certain dragons the ability to breathe fire. Also with there buoyant  stated and serpent like physique allows it to be classified  as the most agile of dragon in air and on land. During  mating season a pair of Eastern Long  Dragons  will twirl and spiral around each other through the air performing a unique and alluring courtship  dance followed with them clutching  claws and plummeting  towards the  ground, to see how willing they're partner's  willing to go with them if successful  the female undergo a 7 month pregnancy  in the nesting cave while the male hunts and brings food. When the wait is over will lay 2-5  pearl like eggs( the dragon is located in coastal waters will submerge the eggs in underwater hot springs for incubation) for incubation the eggs are placed i a nest of shed fireproof fur which is placed on top of a pile of heated rocks  that are continuously monitored to keep warm. After the eggs hatch the male leaves and the female is left to teach the young ,but in some variations of the species  the dragons mate for life.
