Do you believe Dragons ever existed?

Question

Or something similar

emeraldsaphire · Accepted Answer

Dinos were a thing. There are animals we call dragons today. But fire breathing flying lizards. Eh, who knows. We don't really have any reason to think they did, but it would be fun if they did exist. Well maybe not fun if you had to deal with them ^^'

Agape93 · Accepted Answer

Nah at least not like how they're depicted. We did have things similar.  Titanoboa - A Wyrm  Megalania - A Drake

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

I don't think that fire-breathing monsters existed but perhaps dinosaurs who looked like dragons.

One can only hope

Ad_Quid_Orator · Answer

Some of the closest things I could imagine are:

1: Azhdarchid pterosaurs: the largest animals to ever take to the skies:

2: Giant theropod dinosaurs like T-Rex.

3. Giant marine reptiles (or sea-dragons) including mosasaurus, predator X and the Swiss Tyrant.

And there was the giant ripper lizard: a giant monitor which grew to 6 meters in length and lived long enough to encounter the first Aboriginal Australians.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Unfortunately not... the closest we have are large reptiles and large birds. By large reptiles I mean like (obviously extinct) dinosaurs or crocodiles or animals like that. And the reason I say large birds is because birds are theorized to be the descendants of dinosaurs, plus they can fly like dragons.

If dragons were real though in the way they're traditionally depicted I highly doubt they would actually be able to fly, lol. The reason birds can usually fly is that they're light and have hollow bones. Dragons are commonly depicted as really heavy, so unless they would have some ultra insanely muscular super powered wings, I don't think they'd even be able to take flight.

Further evidence some literal birds who can't fly because they're so big/heavy. Like ostriches and cassowaries. Lol.

strateguy632 · Answer

Yes, they put together the bones wrong, most dinosaurs were flying dragons, but prejudice zoologists assumed that the wings, found were for different type.

The glands for flame rotted with the muscle. No? How about bombardier beetle! Same known mechanism.

purplepoppy · Answer

As others have mentioned, people would have found dinosaur fossils and interpreted them as dragons. But there's another culprit, lightning. A lightening strike can kill a herd of animals and leave burn marks (quite common). Another thing to consider is the dragon was the symbol of the roman cavalry so accounts of dragon attacks may be symbolic of aincient battles.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I have read some theories suggest that ancient people may have encountered dinosaur fossils and misinterpreted them as the remains of dragons.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I think it became part of human culture because it was the best way people could describe dinosaur bones way back in the day. Kind of how they came up with the cyclops idea from elephant/mammoth skulls.

But in a weird twisted way... by considering dinosaurs existed, if one would consider them dragons, then yeah.

RavVid · Answer

I have mentioned this elsewhere but dragons are a very early myth. Firey serpents are in the bible but without wings. The Australian Aborigine rainbow serpent myth was a dragon that was a life creator. Dragons evolved as myths changing in nature.

This youtube has a good summary.

OI course not, but Godzilla was very real.  Wow, He picks up the bus and throws it back down. Too much caffeine?

DJB72 · Answer

Yup. There's pottery from the Aztec and Incas that have sauropod-type animals on them. Think about the Chinese zodiac signs. All real animals except the dragon? That makes no sense. The dragon legends from across Europe.

Different cultures totally isolated from each other come up with descriptions of near identical creatures. It only makes sense if it's true.

I believe the human race, as an ensemble, is extremely imaginative, for better AND worse lol

northerngal · Answer

They exist right now... Komodo Dragons, Drumheller Dragons!

Grond21 · Answer

I think it would have been really cool, and it's odd there are legends of them from so many ancient cultures. But I don't know.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I'd think they are dinosaurs and people saw the skeletons and imagined these creatures into their cultures.  They are more real than Rudolph the red nosed reigndeer.

AhmetHasanCan · Answer

No, they're not real. Those who have seen ancient dinosaur drawings have probably imagined fire coming out of their mouths.

Dargil · Answer

Hadrosaurs were once hypothesized to breathe fire from their mouths (which was generated via their crest) as a defense mechanism. Likely a fantasy.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Yeah, probably. There are types that still exist. I've seen people that have them as pets.

exitseven · Answer

No, but I love the idea of Dragons being real.

Not unless you count flying dinosaurs. But dragons that breathe fire, no.

Crazzyyworld · Answer

I have red some article maybe a dinosaur can breathe fire

AviatorTom · Answer

Most societies have stories about dragons, so there must have been some animal that looks like a dragon... that people exaggerated.

HighValue · Answer

I just saw one a couple days ago after I left Whiterun.

DrPepper12 · Answer

No but I do believe that hallucinogens were more widely known in the paleolithic era than us commonly accepted

clampfan101 · Answer

It seems like something similar at least used to exist, being involved in so many ancient cultures, so I like to believe they did.

dragoblack · Answer

Yep, too many cultures have dragons in their history

LinkxPeach · Answer

According to the Bible, they do exist. But, they probably weren’t dinosaurs if people saw them in their cultures.
