Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-like wings growing from its back.A dragon-like creature with wings but only a single pair of legs is known as a wyvern.lthough the indigenous name for a dragon in Japanese is tatsu (ãã¤) , a few of the Japanese words for dragon stem from the Chinese word for dragon, namely, ryÅ« (ããã) or ryÅ (ããã) (traditional :é¾; simplified :ç«).
Each peppered moth in the samples was identified by phenotype as melanic (solid black), typical (patterned wings), or intermediate (insularia). The range of phenotypic differences results from multiple alleles at a single locus, with the allele producing full melanism as dominant (Lees and Creed 1977; West 1977).
Coyne's statement that only two peppered moths had been found on tree trunks was incorrect, as the book gives the resting positions of 47 peppered moths Majerus had found in the wild between 1964 and 1996; twelve were on tree trunks (six exposed, six unexposed), twenty were at the trunk/branch joint, and fifteen resting on branches.
