Dragons probably never literally existed, alongside unicorns, gryphons and the like. They probably came about in mythology in the same way other mythical creatures did– from remains belonging to some other animal or old, distorted stories.
The dragons mentioned in Revelations are, most likely, metaphorical symbols.
Give your answer to this question below!
Ancient people have also talked about fairies, unicorns, winged horses and satyrs.
We call this ‘imagination’.
Dear, dragons are from Chinese mythology. There has never been any archealogical evidence of their existence outside the mythology itself.
There are reptiles that are called dragons (Kyoto dragon, for instance) but they are merely large reptiles…..they don’t fly, breath fire or smoke and have the brain a size of a walnut.
And, there are no such things as “prophets”…nobody can predict the future.
I think that dragons must have existed at one time. They are mentioned in every ancient culture on earth. Some cultures see them as fearful, some as peaceful. Even your prophets used them to bring fear.
sorry to say there is no answer to this question.
from a scientific perspictive you could say it is possible that they could exsist
Why wouldn’t they exist?
IF THEY EXISTED
now why might they not exist? All of the nessarys for a dragon to be created and live are here. http://hauns.com/~DCQu4E5g/Fire.htm
They would have lived a long time ago and were killed by the KT event. But the water dragon would have lived.

now they could have moved on land as said in the site and humans would have not liked that much. There would have been fight and nobody lived to tell the story so dragons went into myth and legend. (Sad) But the water dragon could be living at the bottom of the ocean and we have just not found them.
There fossils could be lost to Earth’s platal movements (convergent boundaries), or we just have not found them.
Sadly the fossil found on that show Dragons a Fantasy Made Real was not real but there were fossils like that that were so that is one of the factors pointing to dragons. Stories could have been mixed up but dragons still could have lived maybe like the priestoric dragon only four limbs. Perhaps the bacteria said to have powered flight and fire could have ate away any evidence be for it could be fossilalized?
OTHER POSIBILITIES
There was a big lizard that lived some time ago. People will argue over the number of years so I will not list. It was similar to komodo dragons but much bigger and lived in Australia. People must have been tasty to this lizard because ancient wrightings depict this animal and how people stopped it. Setting fire to the plains. They did this in the morning so the lizards would slow to react due to could whether. Other tribes may have seen the lizards moving in large numbers and a big fire. Put two and two together and there’s a dragon for ya.
One popular theory is that they were dinosaurs, well that’s good but think could dinosaurs be dragons and one more thing maybe a dragon like the chines one existed and stories about it flying came around so others put wings on them. Or maybe a dragon lived in between dinosaurs and birds? The hard thing about dragons is that there is so much that leads to them existing and not existing. The Silk Road was a rout that stories along with goods were passed and may have been misplaced. And to go along with the greek gods people could have just used dragons to explain un explanable things (at the time). I do have to include both sides of the facts and posibilities. Also the dinosaurs did not all die at once. We do not know the exact place where the so called KT event happened. But most likely there was some part of the world not as effected and dinos could have survived to some time before dieing out.
Keep this all in mind and if you want to talk about dragons e-mail me.
Komodo Dragons are monitor lizards now they may resemble dragons but they where not known about until close to modern time. So despite where dragons could have come from this possibility is closed off.
So having said all that yes I believe dragons once lived, but they would not still be alive today.
