I was told once that the Prime Minister was a dragon. When I grew up I discovered it was Maggie Thatcher. There are loads of dragons in Wales. They even have them on flags. Someday if I go there I'll find out for you if they are real. Also didn't Frodo come across a dragon in the Lord of the Rings or is that fiction. One thing for sure the KOMODO is not a dragon. It's a lizard.

Myth. but there are a lot of big lizards in different parts of the world. But what would be the difference between a dragon and a dinosaur?
If you meant fire breathing and all that, then myth. Same for the Chinese type dragons that were part cat.

Dinosaurs and dragons look alike. The myth was probably born by finding dinosaurus bones. The damsell in distress was also a myth. Her bones can be found in the British Museum.

You know what, dragons do exist I was watching this documentary on dragons this one day and i think its was on the national geographic channel or on the discovery channel, anyways they were somewhere in the appalachian mountians and they found a wierd type of cave a and found a real dragon frozen in all the snow and ice corrupted on it. They said it was a baby dragon but they dont know where the mom is.

IN the bible dragons are referred to. It is thought that they used the word dragon to refer to dinosaurs from before that time. Who knows, maybe some dinosaurs looked like fictional dragons, but they probably did not shoot fire out of their mouths.

funny thing but I think some dinasourse may have been mistaken for dragons. In fact I am sure there still are dragons but with out the wings some sort of huge lizzerd I say on tv comodo or some thing. I am sure they are as likely to have been around in prehistoric times

archaeoligists found fossils that were thought to actually be dragons but they were either dinosaurs or another extinct animals. they found that they are some other kind of animals but not dragons. octopus and squids and other large water animals have had the same myth. so it is purely legend and myth.

in case you look in old English dictionaries, you gained't locate the interest "dinosaur", yet you'll locate the interest, "dragon". What we anticipate of of as dinosaurs, early people called dragons. The word dinosaur replaced into invented in the 1800s. So truly, certain to dragons modern-day. I advise how ought to there be cave artwork of issues that did not exist earlier archeology replaced into all started? also, in case you've faith in the Bible as a proper source, a good fireplace-respiration creature is pronounced in the e book of interest.

I reckon myth, but lets remember, years ago we were not as clued up about what we could eat. Some of the fungi family could produce dragons i think?!
