Looks like Nessie could use a little Viagra, there. I saw that
"preserved dragon" for sale in a catalog, once. Wish I could remember
which one.

Ah. I'm likely mistaken about seeing it in a catalog, but I seem to
remember it being for sale as a latex replica floating in a jar;
perhaps inspired by the hoax/publicity stunt. Could this be it,
perhaps?

No, no, no, that book can't be right!
It it's on a web site, it must be true! The Internet wouldn't lie to
me!

The history of the "preserved dragon" is rather unclear I've heard
it suggested that its a 19th centuray fake by German naturalists to
make the British naturalists look stupid (life sciences were a Big
Thing back then).

I've seen that specimen in the Oxford natural history museum
<http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/> I think it was part of a book promotion.
(I'd reccomend going there anyway especially because its paired up
with the amazing Pitt Rivers Museum <http://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/>
an awesome gamer resource)

I especially liked the guy's story that three live pterodactyls were
shot during the American Civil War.
