Dragons, Fact or Fiction !?

I'v watched Animal Planet Showcase about dragons. And i had some thought about that.

As all of you know that dragon is a mythical, unreal, creature. You know from your childhood story that dragons have wings, can fly or even burst the fire from it's mouth. You can find dragon everywhere on this planet. Start from the snowy dark cold mountains of Rumania, glistening eastern sea of China, until the farthest dessert in southern australia. And dragon, somehow, exist inside Holy Bible as Leviathan. Other name of dragon such as Naga (indonesia), Ryu (Jpn), Y Ddraig Goch (Wales).

You can find dragon with any kind of shape, personality, name, until the way for worship those 'dragons'. One thing is unique with dragon, you can find it, like i said, everywhere on this planet, not like other mythical creature like hippogriff or chimera. And there's one story about a priest who died because he was killed by a dragon there's a prove about that on one window glass in southern england..

I would like to know your opinion about this dragons. Do you believe it was exist or not. Well, i think it's weird..Can you explain that?

btw,,quoting from AP Showcase

"And a child best guest is Dragon DID exist."

Well Dragons WERE reptiles right? And in some myths, dragons exist untill today plus we have have discovered less than 50% of life on our planet. Very less. So there is a chance we still missed some species. Anywho!
Komodo Dragon - The largest lizard on this terra. It's called dragon for no reason... because of it's body features and it's skin ^_^ And no it cannot breathe fire ^^;

hmmm maybe some1 saw a big komodo and all it a dragon lol...
yeah it is in many myths and legends...but the weird thing is...in the myths a dragon's look is different...
In china and japan = dragons are long with 4 legs or more and can fly like a snake
slithering on the ground...no wings...
USA = the dragons have wings and resemble a komodo dragon and dinosours a lot...

and there has been certain discoveries on something that resembles dragon only i can't remember what and where... :/

Some ppl guess thta dragons are evoluting. Dragons adapt with the enviroment. Like four leg and can fly because they adapt with the lack of capability to move (China n Japan = Forest). That's why they modificate their body so they can move. It's different with dargons on europe. Big body and rough skin, they adapt with the climate, cold on winter and need much body heat to keep them alive. Maybe. But still it's only a guess...

any theory?..

Well some bacteria called methanogen can produce fire..A real fire..

Yeah it is true...lol evolution can cause this but that would take years and years...so im wondering...what do dragons look like b4 they evolve..hmm...
this would take some deep research and im too lazy for something like that...
:p

yeah i heard of that bacteria...and there's a bug that can spray boiled liquid...
i forgot wats it's name...sigh...i need 2 watch more National Geographic..

Hmmm...I think it's like dinosaur...or more clearly on wales' flag. U can see it's like a dinosaur..Four leg, big, rough skin, strong..handsome:confused:
But, again, another some ppl said that 1st dragons are two legs.

Dunno...:help:

experts pls? lol...any1? dragon myth researchers perhaps?? ;p

handsome?? u call that green stuff handsome...maybe i shud get "green tanned" and scales.. and migrate to wales... :eek:

IF only dragons exist with us now...my...that would be not good...

and u said that evolution just now...im feeling weird...how can 1 fly withouth wings? using gas? lol like a balloon... thats very...sigh

I saw a program this morning on the history channel talking about dragons. I think there were real dragons but not fire breathing ones like in fairy tales. But they could probably fly and do other things found in myths. They could have been a close relative to the dinosaurs for all we know.
