On 29 February 2016, an image purportedly showing a newly hatched baby dragon was shared on Facebook: The above-displayed photo does not, of course, show a real baby dragon. This image was created for a 2008 Photoshop contest on the web site Worth 1000. Worth1000.com, which has since moved to DesignCrowd.com, asked digital artists to create their own version of the mythical creature: In addition to the image's source (a site dedicated to digital art contests) and the fact that dragons don't exist, the creator of the digital baby dragon provided the source images used: This is not the first time that rumors that dragons actually are real (complete with photo proof) have swirled around the internet. In March 2015, images of a dragon sculpture were shared as authentic, and in June 2015, a digital artist added wings to a picture of a Satanic Leaf-Tailed Gecko and then passed it off as a photo of a real dragon.
