Maria really felt like she was out on this ice with that answer, but she felt like she had to say something.

Next Professor Paton wondered what they think of that would aid in identifying the right dragon right away. Her peers mentioned the ones that Maria also immediatly had thought of like colour, tails, horns, scales, musical roar and how their fires are shaped which she also jotted down in her notes. Raising her hand she added a suggestion to the mix. "Isn't size also an identifiable marker of breed since we have the Peruvian Vipertooth that is the smallest of all breeds, and the Ukrainian Ironbelly that is the biggest?"

Then they all got orderd up on their feet, and Maria followed along with the others to another part of the pasture where they were going to be digging up dragon bones to reconstruct their own dragon skeletons.

Retrieving some tools for herself Maria chose a digging spot next to Vera since being close to her bestie could be useful if she ran into trouble of any sort. Using the shovel she carefully begain clearing away the dirt. When the shovel connected with something hard she knew it had to be bones. Getting down on her knees she used her gloved hands to carefully unearth the dragon bones without damaging them. When she got all the dragon bone pieces up on the earth she began trying to assembling them like a puzzle, but i wasn't exactly easy since she had no defined frame pieces like in a usual puzzle so what to do? Just try and fit the pieces together and hope some would match?

"A dragons teeth would certainly tell us a great deal about its diet and the way that dragon may live it's life. It's size can also help us to narrow down a breed of dragon much more quickly as well. Very good." Hadleigh nodded head in agreement to both answers that had been given.

Something that made each dragon stand out?? Emma frowned. How was one able to tell by its ROAR??? She was definitely not attune enough to recognize dragons by its roar? Or perhaps it was simply that she hadn't studied dragons enough to know the difference, but still impressive that some of her peers knew that you could recognize a dragon by its roar. Scales actually she knew - not well enough to know which was which, but she did know that scales differed among the different dragons.

Oh they were moving onto assembling dragon bones into a dragon?? This reminded her of one of those 3D puzzles, which made her somewhat curious about something... "Professor? Will the bones not fit together if it's incorrect?" She hoped that question made sense, because looking at a pile of bones seemed rather daunting.

Ah, now here was a very good question. One she was surprised no one had considered earlier. "That's a very good question. Listen up everyone for just a minute. Should you really find yourself struggling, you are welcome to get your textbooks and I do have some parchments here of the skeletal forms. However, yes, just give the bone you are trying to figure out where it goes a little tap with your wand and it will glow briefly along with the bones it belongs aligned with." Now she hadn't told them this earlier because she wanted to see how they would go about reconstructing the skeletons on their own.

OOC: Great work so far everyone! There's still about 30 hours left for the activity but I'll be checking in again later tonight xD
