Bryan:
Though I'm usually the biggest skeptic of theoretical science, mysticism, and religion. I simply must state that there are many stories and historical writings that contain simple refereces to dragons.(whatever they may be) The stories could be of a subject matter having nothing to do with dragons. They may be in a casual description of the surrounds or in a reference to them as a predator. So...dragons were around. It would be ascinine to think otherwise. This is easily proven with the fosils available(dinosaur bones). As for the way they looked? I'd be more inclined to trust an ancient artists' drawing (who was actually there) than a theoretical drawing of someone guessing today.There were also giant octipi and squid terorrizing ships which are extinct now as well as "dragons" Many creatures are dissapearing on earth and science changes even faster! Whatever reality is...we're in it and we'll be gone soon too!

dragons were mentioned in the opening of the book Ivenhoe along with the War of the Roses. In the Bible, it talks about the Laviathan; a scaled fire breathing monster. Dragons and dinosaurs are most likely the same thing, but becuase people think the idea of a dragon is too crazy and mythical, they called them dinosaurs to try to make it logical. also, dinosaurs didnt die out before people arrived. proof: Australian aborigines drew pictures on cave walls of a creatures resembling the platyosaur. likely that dragons still exist- sure, lizards, etc. had to evolve themselves to fit in with their surroundings, thats why they're not the big, scaley creatures mentioned in old stories or drawn on cave walls

Janice Baker:
Almost every culture has a legend or story about dragons dating back thousands of years. These cultures didn't intermingle...were separated by continents...yet still they have the stories. Makes a believer out of me. If they don't exist now, it's because, like everything else on this planet, man has over-run, extinguished or exterminated them.

I agree with the most said at the top... But I just have to disagree with those claming that dragons, dinosaurs and lizards are all the same.... There are hundreds (if not thousands) of different species of Dragon mentioned in all cultures all around the world.. Fire breathing, sea habitating, flying, etc. and yet they're all described pretty much the same.. Not in the sense that they all look the same but are described as for e.g. birds - again there's a great number of different kinds, all have their own specific look, abilities, etc. and again you know a bird when you see one..
-
- Now, again, I don't believe that dragons, as these huge, powerfull, godlike predators could be "over-run" by the puny human race, or that they were forced to become tiny little reptiles from the giant fearsome predators that they were..
-
- I don't know how they got extinct IF they did, or where are they now.. But I'm sure if they're alive now, they're nothing less than that described by all the nations in the world!

i know dragons never existed but its fun to think they did. i would think people found bones and dreamed up the tails but who knows. maby there is something to it we havent found yet. i know most fantasy animals are baised on real animals that either existed or still exist and i believe the truth can be stranger than fiction.

Jesster:
What I have finally decided is that dragons were NOT dinosaurs. They were close in classification probably up to the Class step. They were a type of reptile, no doubt, but calling Dragons Dinosaurs is like calling a lizard a komodo dragon. There again, same class but cut off at the Order. Maybe not Order, maybe something a little further down the line such as the Family but no closer. When they existed, they, like everything else, were there own Species. Too much logic and explaining has gone into these creatures to just quit researching them and just say they're Dinosaurs. That was some lazy work by whom ever said that first and, in my opinion, very disappointing.

It is strange that religons that have never met all came up with the of dragons- maybe because they were real.

Crystal:
I believe dragons are real at one time and who knows maybe they still exists you know kind of like reign of fire. There are still a lot of places in the earth that we have never see. point is that fiction, fantasy, myths and legends all come from some kind of fact. If you want to talk to me about it please e-mail me, i like to hear other ppls opinions.

Kara:
I believe dragons exist, for there is too much dragonlore for it to simply be a myth. And what with all these different species of dinosaurs, a dragon-like species may well have evolved. To anyone who say the documentary entitled 'the last dragon', it gave plausible proof and a voice to how they evolved and, most interestingly, how they breathed fire and flew. I think they have been driven back to the caverns of the world, and can never return to the earths plains. Imagine the chaos - They would be caught and put in zoos, sudated, they would live a life of sadness and squalidity, which would just prove the hyprocracy of existance, as dragons symbolise freedom and myth. That is why the do not show themselves, and have remained a myth ever since men first started to hunt them

Dragons had to be real, or still are.There are to many stories about dragons for them to be made up.I mean look at the book Eragon!!! Maybe dragons were smart or dumb but they had to exist!!!!

I think you will find after some research that the dragon, serpent link in history points greatly towards the Dogon Tribe see below.. http://www.crystalinks.com/dogon2.html

- 2 Hour special on Animal Planet all about dragons.
-
- There's "myths" of dragons in every culture practically. Most of these myths started before the cultures had contact with eachother. They all share similar images, similar creatures. This has to point to somthing.
