Do you believe in dragons?

Don't get me wrong, I believe dragons have existed before or after the dinosaur age and are extinct now. So much evidence has been found about them. I once saw a show about them on Nat Geo and it said scientists have found frozen dragon bones in caves with spears through them and also dead medival people in armor near them. The scientists study how the dragon's fire works, and that they can only fly if they are light with no food in them. So, I have always believed that dragons existed and probably always will be. So, what do you think?

sorry LGD, i saw that documentary too and i think you're a little confused, as i was when i first saw it. the entire situation was hypothetical, just a "what-if" kinda thing. i do think that dragons could be real though, we just havent found them yet. :)

I personally think dragon-like creatures WERE real at one point in time, but they did not breath fire, and they probably looked different than your fictional drawing of a dragon. (probably more like a terodactyl or somthing)

However, it depends on what your definition of a Dragon is... i voted for the second one.

If they were real, wouldnt it be cool to have a pet dragon? ;) :)

I have to say... that in the real world I don't think dragons ever really existed, if they truely did I think hardcore evidence would have been found by now and it would have made the news... and been printed into grade school history books you know...

HOWEVER, in my world and in my mind, intellectual dragons roam, and I myself am a dragon of the fire element!

I reckon they must have existed at some point. If they hadn't, people would be unfamiliar with the word and always ask "What's a Dragon?". So the concept of them existing in the period when Dinosaurs were alive seems plausible. In a way, they almost are a Dinosaur, expect more a mixture of various Dinos' best features.

I think the one people draw is just the type they like to relate to in some way. There are hundreds of different types of Dragon such as the many Serpent-like ones from China that inhabit those parades. The one which has become the most popular, though, and that Spyro is based on is actually the Welsh Dragon. Look at the Welsh Flag and you'll see :)

It has to be said...

You gotta belieeeve! :lol:

Well, I chose the second answer, but I'm short for time now to explain.

But trust me, I'll be coming back for a lot of facts that you will look at as evidence that dragons HAD to exist...Trust me. 8)

I'm sure they existed at some point. Like I said before...

If they hadn't, people would be unfamiliar with the word and always ask "What's a Dragon?".Iceferno

Well....yeah......she beat me to it....:roll:

Anyway, that was what I was gonna say.

Sumerian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Aztec and Mayan dragons are been accounted for through out history. Back then, these people had no knowledge of each others existence. No telegrams, ships, computers, phones. These people stood in their own places.

This only means that the dragons moved and lived around the world.....

I knew i'de find the perfect place to talk about this someday... OK, long story short:

We had a substitute english teacher at school. Her name was DR. Jenks. She looked EXACTLY like she was pulled out from a harry potter book. Anyway, one day, the classroom was unusually warm, but no one complained. However, Dr. Jenks told us that the reason the room was so hot, was because there were invisible dragons flying around in circles above our heads... NOT KIDDING....

She also told us about her house, and how she has all these dragon statues and chairs...It was both fasinating and creepy at the same time! LOL!

Think i was kidding about the harry potter thing? Check out her own web site she gave to us in class: HERE or here if that doesnt work: http://www.mythinglinks.org/bio.html

But surely if Dragons moved and lived around the world, like you said, that would mean people did know about the various species of Dragons? It probably isn't like most creatures today who go to a specific place based on what they are, Dragons could fly and didn't seem to have any specific habitat. They may have preferred some places to others, I'm sure, but it wouldn't be the same for one certain type of Dragon. Perhaps they were like us. :)

I remember seeing a show on t.v that would explain how the dragons could breathe fire if they actully existed, I will try finding it and putting it up soon.

I can believe everything, except the fire. I just can't see that being possible.bd0g5

electric eels can generate electicity enough to stun a human out of their own bodies, anglerfish can make themselves glow on and off like lightbulbs, 5-foot long octupi can sqeeze themselves into something as small as a beer bottle, and waterbears can withstand temperature extremes from the vacuum of space to the magma of the earth's mantle, so why is it so hard to beleive that nature once had an animal that could breathe fire?

Good point there, I guess It's more possible.

Hmmm... that is very interesting... really gets you thinking.

Now this is another interesting topic. :D

I'm sooo late for this one, but here's my thoughts...

I saw a documentary on this once. This is something to extremely important, because if you look at the artwork of these different cultures, you'll see creatures similar to what we see as dragons now. So the fact that they all had similar depictions of what a dragon looked like is something truly amazing, just as how the Mayans, Aztecs, and Egyptians built great pyramids based on similar ideas when they had knowledge of each other's existence, as already said...

Also, I like the nickname of the person who made the site in the link, and the website has some great infomation. :)

Ghosts, maybe... But dragons, no wayGANGSTASAN

I don't believe in ghosts, but dragons I do... :lol:

The bolded part... Don't forget about what fireflies can do. Sparx anyone?

Anyway, breathing fire could very well be possible with the right kind of inner body protection and chemicals. I know that methane could easily be used as the fuel for the flame since it's commonly a byproduct of the things we and many other animals eat. It could also be used to way to help dragons fly (considering their enormous size much of the time), by giving them the lift they need to take off and remain in the air. Of course, that's in theory, and I'm sure nature would find a way to make it happen...

Yeah, man. NATURE IS INSANE!

EPIC WIN!

For those who want to see some insane and unbelievable creatures, visit the following links. :)

You have to watch this one! (It changes your mind about the hippo...)

The Liger (Damn, what HUGE cat!!!)

The Most Fearless Animal on Earth ( :shock: It doesn't die from the snake's bite, and only needs sleep to recover and finish eating. How's that for tough? )

ok, Hippo, cute but sad ending. Liger... omg, I want one, but it's not sleeping on me. Honey Badger... LMAO, treates the deadly snake bite of a cobra... like a hangover, excellent. (Was gonna quote you but, it's so long and unnecisary to reapeat all you said lol)

umm, just so everybody knows, a waterbear is NOT a bear that likes the water. its a tiny microscopic animal.

That's right. Here's the link to them on Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_bear

I've seen a naked mole rat myself, and they do look...unique. How about this adorable cat for a pet?

ew... garsh can't you guys find any better creaters than balding mamels -_- let's bring out a big picture of a Ligar lol, THAT was cool.

There's a Liger. This topic was getting pretty ugly pictures in it. D:

That's an incredible picture of a Liger! I still say it's a really big cat...

And, thanks for posting a better picture than what I posted. Those hairless animals are beginning to remind me of some of the monsters you see in Silent Hill... >_>

OMG LIGAR!!! Dude I totaly wanna put some armor on that and ride it around, be like.

"Yeah my car get's me 30 miles per gallon on the high way, what about you?"

"My Ligar can rip off your car door and decapitate you with one claw, then use your spine for a tooth pick"

That has to be like, the king of school mascots, it's like you got the knights, snakes, tigers, bulls... LIGER BIATCH, WHAT NOW!?
