How to artificially inseminate a very particular dragon?

+0
−0

I actually have a couple of questions here.

My dragon is very small, just about 3 meters long from beak to tailtip, 20 kilograms, with a 5 meter wingspan. A bit like a velociraptor-sized Rahonavis. Mating among her species usually takes place for 5-10 seconds during freefall from 4000 or so meters. Like eagles, they clutch talons together. Unlike eagles, they have sexual organs halfway along their tails which they briefly twine together while they do the mating fall.

She's the last of her kind, so we have to artificially inseminate her so we can have baby dragons again. But she's biologically unable to accept sperm unless inseminated while falling.

Question 1: What kind of mechanism could prevent fertilization except in conditions of zero gravity?

Question 2: How would you go about impregnating this dragon?
