A recently taken undated hand out photograph received on January 25, 2004
shows a fake baby dragon encased in a 30 inch (0.76 metres) jar which was
discovered by David Hart in a garage in Oxfordshire, southern England. A
metal tin found alongside the dragon contained paperwork written in an
old-fashioned German style of the 1890s, a time when their was intense
rivalry between Britain's and Germany's scientists. The documents suggest
that Britain's Natural History Museum turned the dragon away and sent it to
be destroyed, only for the jar to be intercepted by David Hart's
grandfather, Frederick Hart, who worked as a porter. REUTERS/Allistair
