this question is THE MOST strange one I ever heard in my whole life(I KNOW I DIDN'T LIVE THAT LONG BUT STILL!)
the whiskers would be for one of two things in my eyes, also the Chinese dragon CONTROLS the water, they might live in caves nearby but they aren’t like the sea dragon for they are a strange mix of the four main elements(fire, water ,air, earth) The sea dragon could breath fire, control and sometime's said to live in water, they could fly (I was like "WTF?" when I heard about them and I have many theory’s about their possibility's.) AND they could walk on land (and sometime's said to live in caves as well)
ok back to the topic. Whiskers right?
1) no reason once so ever! (kind of like a dog's whiskers) This theory is simple and to the point.
2) MY THEARY: The whiskers are long right? Well what happens if the whiskers have the same purpose as a cat's? to tell if they could fit in small spaces or not. But that would mean they would have a smaller IQ right? not exactly maybe they use it to measure if the space is truly big enough for them or not, kind of like how we use a ruler to measure how high we are and some such they would use their whiskers to see if they are big enough to fin=t in small spaces.
