Turns out that dragons are real and they come from South Africa (Latin name ‘Smaug gigantaeus’)
SMAUG
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY USED SMAUG IN THE SCIENTFIC NAME??!
this is just my hypothesis but the Latin name probably came before lord of the rings
Actually, they named the genus after the Tolkien creature in 2011. So, the dragon came first.
But the name Smaug was chosen by Tolkien because it was derived from the Germanic verb smeugan meaning “to squeeze through a hole”.
