Here's the bit about me
This Queen dragon 
(called *Jick* in reality) is ancient and not necessarily all-knowing. I have a mate called Gaargat and two young hatchlings called Boraath and Aankohl. I am generally placid , but can scorch those who anger me sometimes. Do not be alarmed however, I am welcoming of other species, including humans , aliens and the like.
I have spent aeons studying the variety of life on this planet and enveloping it in my protective wings when and where I can. I understand that Homo sapiens do not appreciate criticism, but in my many flights across this Earth I have found many instances of both deliberate and unknowing destruction of ecosystems . My kind find this most alarming considering they are damaging the very thing
that keeps them alive.
The most appealing thing about humans to us dragons is their creativity in the arts . What wonderful imagination and vision they possess! And, of course, as you may know, our kin love to sing! We possess a wide appreciation of music , with many genres which appeal. However, there are some styles which grate on our sensitivity .
I am on a research flight here from my home dimension of Phareele , and dragons having a thirst for knowledge , this seems to be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about "Life, The Universe and Everything" as you so succinctly put it! May I pray your patience and assistance in helping me gain the most out of this "h2g2" as you call it?
Believe in the "MAGIC"!

Poems by my human soul mate
Dragon Wings
On golden wings
like lace unfurled,
you carry me free
far away from this world.
To gaze through pale shadows,
keen eyes of emerald green.
An ancient wisdom? Who knows
of the miracles you've seen.
Share with me your crystal dreams
of violet skies and silver seas,
of amethyst fields reflecting moon beams
and ruby mountains topped by trees.
All these wonders to behold
my soul mate shares with me.
But, all too soon, as I am told,
"We must come back to reality"

"You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear", because it would be cruel!
My favourite species
1st on the list has to be:
Otters - playful, inquisitive, and downright cute!
Next:
Mountain Gorillas - magestic, powerful, but peaceful
Horses - power and grace in equine form
Big Cats - supreme predators, perfectly adapted carnivores
Elephants - just look at these wonderful creatures,
it's self-explanatory
Whales and Dolphins - intelligent, includes the Blue Whale, the largest living mammal.
Of course I can't forget Wolves - we dragons love to hear their song!
There are actually too many to mention here.....
TV Shows I can't bear to miss, but in no particular order. To quote David "the Duke" Dickinson, "A right liquorice allsort"
once again there's far too many to list.....
People I think are wonderful for one reason or another
.....That's all folks!
