I'm also on the dinosaur bandwagon here.... I figure, something like them could have existed (though I don't believe they would have breathed fire lol...) I'm just thinking that they were dinosaurs, or something that was a decendent of them, since the time of dinosaurs was over by the time humans existed for the tales of the knights that battled them. But then again, maybe they lived before human times too, because there are also tales of humans finding the lost world and battling dinosaurs. Maybe it's all just a big story.

Though it's strange that they've not really found any bones or fossils from dragons. Because they've found so many from other types of creatures that have lived in the past, I would have thought that they'd have found some bones to prove of the dragons existence.

It's a tough question, but still an interesting one to think about. I just wish that we could get a real solid proof that there was or wasn't dragons. Mind you, I think it's next to impossible to prove that something doesn't exist, so we'd have to keep believing until some kind of proof was found.

Did Dragons Ever Exist?

They did exist coz my uncle is a scientist and they have real dragon bones in the lab and they have a load of armed gaurds on the doors. The dragon they have found is believed to be a fire breathing dragon known as 'islatem ' dragon. They will be publishing the photos in the next few months.The bones were found in a cave in wales.

Do dragons exist?
Did Dragons Ever Exist?

Yes,look at the komodo dragon now whiether or not the dragon we imagine today is a evolution or the komodo dragon or vise versa but my theory is that dragons the one we think of were the first and the lack of need to fly eventually lead to the evolution of a smaller wingspand and eventually led to the look of no wings or the komodo dragon. As for breathing fire it is thought by people that when they ate they digested the food in the first stomach and went through a special stomach which contained a special acid to turn the food into a hydrogen like gas and when needed emptying or for defending itself it would push the gas out and the friction of the gas spilling out of tubes at the side or top of the mouth created a spark which when surrounded by gas ingnites. A modern display of this is holding a match in front of a cows natural stored gas burp it lights and would make a impressice flame

Dragons really do exist these days, they sleep all winter and roar in the sky during summer. When its time to go up in the sky, they kinda swirl in the mist from their cave to sky. Many people in tibet says they have seen such animal soaring in the sky but very vague since they tend to stay in the mist.

Even my dad says dragons exist, and there are some rumors that people can die if they see the dragon but idk about that.

Its body is similar to snake and has four legs.
They sleep all winter undergroud.
Trust me, I'm not some retarded kid...I might go to tibet and
Search for dragons...Its not a myth after all guys. Dragons are alive! :o

[quote]
Could the Komodo dragons be in a sort of evolution line?

Dragon with wings and also breathe fire>>>
Dragons with NO wings that breathes fire >>>
Dragon with NO wings and doesnt breathe fire (Komodo)

It could be an evolution line. Or travellers could have seen a Komodo dragon in a desert (whever theyre found) and possible saw a mirage which appeared it breathing fire. [quote]

If that were true, it would be pretty cool if the Komodo Dragons could somehow evolve back to original dragons with wings and fire-breathers. Then the Dragons could like make new species, somehow, and it could be like modern back then!! Then we could go to war with Dragons and Dinosaurs~!!

Dragons in their movie like sense do not exist, nor have they ever.

There are "dragons" though, such as the Komoto Dragon. So it all really depends on what form of dragon you're speaking of.

If you're talking about Shrek style, there never have been, :)

I aggree with truefusion, how can anyone ever breathe fire? fire is the chemical reaction that consumes oxygen, and breathing is the kreb cycle that has ocygen for input and carbon oxyde and atp for output so breathing fire is a paradox.
dragons exists just as much as gods do. only in your imagination, not in the past, and they are not related to reptiles! or dinosaurs!

Dragons can fly and they are MAGIC. they are an archetype and have a meaning on itself, they are SUBJECTIVE and you can't bring it up in an adult conversation specially in your work or family environment, or any kind or religious congregation you take seriously anough to have any political influence because dragons is crazy talk. if you meet someone carrying a bag of dice, that's the person you go discuss dragons with. or perhaps a psychology student or the internet.

Now the komodo dragon isnt that a weird thing to look at. disgusting poisonous saliva, can run fast, lives up to a 100, is red, I wouldnt have it as a pet, I preffer cats.

but if the dragon in question wa like atreyu's dragon in that movie about the book-- neverending stoy, oh i cant remember that cute dog face white dragon, i want one of those.

from what i've seen in TV, people in tibet wear orange, have no hair and MEDITATE ALL DAY afcourse they see dragons, they probably see god too.

A huge lizard which can fly and squirts out fire from it's mouth? Is it just me or does that sound impossible. Of course their not real, their probably slightly based on an animal which is around today. The person who invented dragons must of seen a lizard and a bird tat day and put the two together, to add some spice he gave the dragon the ability to breath fire. Maybe it wasn't even him, the guy who invented the flying lizard, maybe someone else added the ability to blow fire out it's mouth.

There isn't an ounce of evidence to support the existence of dragons, their just made-believe.
