Male dragons have patched wings and straight horns, while females have curved horns and plain wings. As of the 1.8.0 update, there is a way to differentiate between an untamed male and a female dragon. Once you've found one, kill it and right-click the body with an empty hand to collect loot, and it will drop a dragon egg of random color depending on the species.

To obtain a dragon egg, one must seek out a female 4+ dragon, which can be found sleeping in treasure-filled caverns deep underground. No Dragon Eggs are placeable entities that turn into baby dragons they are a drop from stage 4-5 female dragons, used to hatch tamed baby dragons.
