Do Dragons Exist?

In the folklore and legends of countries all over the world, there are tales of great and horrible dragons.
They were pictured as huge, snake-like monsters frightful to behold.
They had bulging eyes, their nostrils spouted flames,
and their roar was so great they caused the earth to tremble.
One of the most famous of these ancient dragons was the Hydra, which had nine heads! It devoured many beautiful young girls before it was slain by Hercules. Another famous dragon was the Chimera, a fire-breathing monster that met its death at the hands of a young warrior, Bellerophon, who was helped by his winged steed, Pegasus.
Many dragons were supposed to be guarding great treasures. The Golden Fleece was guarded by a dragon with a hundred eyes! In other cases, great heroes always fought battles with dragons.
Although the dragon usually represents the spirit of evil, it has also been used as a symbol of protection. The early warriors painted fierce dragons on their shields to frighten away enemies.
At one time people actually did believe that dragons existed. For example, before the time of Columbus, sailors used to be afraid to venture into unknown seas because they believed huge dragons would swallow up the ships and men.
Of course, dragons never existed except in legends, myths, and fairy tales. Then why did the belief in them arise? In prehistoric times, all kinds of huge reptiles roamed the earth. The most terrifying of these beasts, the dinosaur, lived long before man appeared on the earth. But it is possible that during the time of the cavemen some reptiles of great size still survived, and from this came the legends of the dragons.

With the dragon popping up in all cultures,  there had to be some creature  to fit the pattern in by gone eras, so yes I think they did exist.

Yes, is it not interesting that in two completely different cultures, western an orient, both have tales of dragon, even though not completely that same either.
Any way if the didn't exist in real life the still exist in people imagination and in their stories.

Yes. I have a book about dragons with riddles and spells you can tell to dragons that make them do stuff. I put an amethyst outside and then I used one that summons dragons and went inside. While inside I heard many screaming birds. I believe that a dragon killed and ate them. I went back outside later and found the amethyst was gone. I think the dragon took it for his or her hord!
