Just after the turn of the century, at the beginning of the 1900s, a genealogy survey was being conducted in Wales. In one region, all of the oldest residents, related stories of the dragons which were native to the area, when they were all still young children. They described them as being covered in reflective scales, which gave them a shimmering jeweled appearance, of shifting, refracted, colors. Approximately eight, to ten, feet long (including the tail), with a six, or eight, foot wingspan. They said that they mostly just glided, from tree to tree, as they flew. They did not spit any fire, or venom. Basically harmless to humans, they equated them to being a damn nuisance predator, like a fox. Routinely killing chickens, and attacking new lambs. The local people there didn't recognize them as being anything extraordinary. They viewed them as a threat to property, which needed to be eliminated. The story goes, that they were basically hunted into extinction by the local farmers. They were easy to kill, and apparently couldn't replenish their population faster than they were being exterminated. I've often wondered if this story was true, and if so... how very sad.
There are 4 foot long gliding snakes so if that was true it was either they saying that one of these gliding snakes were larger than they really are or it’s a undiscovered snake but unlikely. Assuming your telling the truth.
That is one of the most annoying facts about so called mythical creatures. Some of them were real. Humans were annoyed or frightened. Humans killed them. Then got the nerve to say that the creatures never even existed.
@eddiewinehosen I disagree because people like to show off and if they have something amazing like a dragon's fossil, then.. well, as I said, they would show it off not keep it a secret as if it's illegal. The Vatican has nothing to lose by showing the existence of said creatures.
The core about the dragon myth is true. Watch the Komodowaran 10 feet and 200lbs (who has the most toxic mouth of all lizards) and imagine there bigger ancestors 30 00 years ago with 900lbs and 20 feet long, that was a dragon without wings.
I like to believe dragons may have existed but not in the way we think. It's possible that lizards during ancient times were more massive than crocodiles and komodos. I bet some didn't even fly and some were smaller but with long bodies and hollow bones which helped them glide across the sky giving the illusion that they were flying. It's also possible that these dragons may have been already close to extinction by the time civilizations started writing stories about them.
Why would any of these be truly extinct when the Mokelle M'Kembie (Brontosaurus) is so prevalent to South American Amazon tribes that they see them on an every-other-year basis, get sick, and die when they eat them; my literal SRGT. Slaughter USMC Nam-Vet father said he had seen dinosaurs in the jungle but as a Christian Bible thumper rationalized that therefore, the planet was only several thousand years old not Millions like science says; he was VERY out-dated and narrow-minded Bipolar son of a bitch fool, lord rest his soul.
That's an academic thing. I know 10 hours worth of explaining for many topics that I would preface by saying I don't really know anything about it. He means in comparison to those who REALLY know about the topic
@@jotunnomachy2480 The difference with those is that they lived in the sea or in humid places (like swamps), so when they died their remains would be imprinted in the soil, lime or wherever their carcass deposited. That's how you get fossils for soft bodied invertebrates
The cowned eagle has in recent history killed human children as 7 years. It kills its prey by swooping down and puncturing its throat or skull. I've used them and a few others as the basis for dragons in my writing. Vultures and other similar birds will spit out stomach acid in self defence. And in most cultures I believe dragons would breathe poison gas or spit acid. I also throw in some other creatures as inspiration for dragons like bombardier beetles which kill predators with steam and giant deathstalker scorpions which literally spray their kurtoxin at their targets. And plenty more wildly fantasy sounding animals.
He doesn't mention a kind of important part. These cultures that depicted dragons had no knowledge of many other people. LIke, the Chinese did not introduce the idea of dragons to the Aztecs, all cultures seemed to some how have come up with the same "animal" on their own. And it's prevalant in A LOT of cultures.
they absolutely have never existed. we have fossil records... also, if they had lived at the same time as humans... we would know. come on people... stop being children.
1841 is when the word "dinosaur" was invented to describe all the fossils discovered. Prior to 1841, they were always called "dragons" worldwide. Dragons were mentioned by Marco Polo (late 1200s AD), Herodotus (400s BC), and book of Job (Job 40:15-24) as the "Behemoth" and (Job 41:1-11) as the "Leviathan" as dwelling with humans. Polo claims China emperor had a "dragon" pulling his chariots. Herodotus refers to flying dragons with 'bat-like' wings who lives in caves of India and 'pestered the elephants'.
@@clublouie Glad I'm not only one who heard about this. Scientist Sir Richard Owen is guy who invented the word "dinosaur" in 1841. The word "dragon" was in English dictionary up to mid 1940's, described as, "now rare" (vs. 'myth creature'). I'm pushing 50, college graduate, yet just recently learned how history is full of mentions of 'dragons'. Even Alexander the Great mentioned dragons in caves (India) that frightened his troops. Recent discovery of intact mammoths and soft tissue of dinos kinda adds insult to the 'millions of yrs ago' version of story.
It's like the word unicorn that was used to describe a one horned rhino in the 19th century it is found in the dictionary of that era. There was also bicornus or something I believe for 2 horned rhino. There are also old drawings of dinosaurs found in Peru which are the exact same as we believe them to have looked
There is actually a species of beetle that exists right now and it can in fact start fires with the chemicals in its digestive system. it also flies. Is it so outlandish that if a beetle exits that breathes a form of fire starting fluid and flies, that there could in fact be dragons in ancient times? i mean the evidence that such a creature can exist is right here before our eye's. not to mention all the millions of artworks from ancient times that we see of people with dragons/dinosaur's. Such art is a mere google search away and its artwork from every region of the planet earth from the ancient world.
I think drgaons "breathing fire" was probably something akin to a defense ability. Like how some lizards can spit up their food or shoot blood from their eye. It probably was spitting up stomach acid.
@FarthersUnited-fu Actually, Dragon's DO spit fire or napalm in this case! This is done with sacs tuck behind their main fangs. The sac holds a special liquid and ignites when in contact with oxygen molecules. The liquid is released through tiny holes at the tip of their front main fangs just like spitting cobras spits out venom.
Because eagles are big enough to pick human beings up and drop them to their death... Look at his podcast about eagles better yet look up how vicious eagles are..

@@Hu54644 The word Dragon original meaning was snake. The defiinition oof snake at that time in today terms meant reptile. As time progressed the word for snake was replace and the word Dragon started to mean giant reptile ( and by giant I would say it meant a reptile that could be a danger to a 12 years old child) . This meaning remained more or less the same until around 1400 AD . In the late medieval age with the advent of hieraldics and embelished stories from people that never saw a dragon dragons started to combine and get supernatural powers. As a note the standard dragon would have 1-3 heads most ( unless it was a moral story never meant to be literal) and if it couls spit anything it was poison . The cases where dragons could spit fire are extremely rare and with the except of the Leviathan most probably just spit something that could easily catch fire not fire itself ( and considering the lighting was done by torches...). About flight some dragons could fly but they were described either not having any limbs apart from wings ( which is unrealistic) or gaving only 2 extra limbs ( what we would call a wyvern - and darwinists probably would call a pterodactyl) . The six limbs dragons only started appearing again during the medieval time around 14 century. By the pre-medieval definition some crocodiles and some snakes ( like the Anaconda, Python, Boa) can be considered dragons. As a note some dragons had decorations you could say on their heads. This lead to people to say that certain lizards that looked similar but where more smaller could also be considered dragons even in the medieval age. In conclusion even if the term was not very well defined the definition would be a reptile large enough to eat a 12 years old child.
@@danielbateman6518 dude that is my favorit theory. Ofcourse you will say you had a epic fight with that thing on a mountain far away when you find a dinosaur skull when in reality all you were doing is getting high in the forest for 2 weeks and found the skull on the way back.
Nah the fire benders wiped them out. Uncle Iroh found the last ones and earned their respect then learned the true form of firebending. He told the fire nation that he killed the dragon so he could protect them
There was a news report in the 1960s about an eagle attacking a small child and trying to fly off carrying the kid but the parents or someone scaring the bird into dropping the child. I think it was in the midwest area of the USA. Also there was a report about a small plane pilot in Alaska saying a bird flew by him and the pilot swore that the bird's wingspan was almost as big as the plane's wingspan.
That lends to the fact that it's only a story rather than real animal. Most likely through trade routes these stories would spread. Rather than specific traits being different (such as wing shape, size, and color) but instead it's stuff that's specific to the culture
@@jontraz5993pssssh I don’t know what you’re talking about. I only see “were dragons real?”. It’d be best not to imagine such a grammatically incorrect sentence.

Dragons were the ultimate blend of all our Predators. The scales like a Snake, the claws like a big cat, the head like a gator, the wings like a huge bird. If you catch my drift
Herodotus the Greek historian wrote about dragons, flying serpents, some with legs, some without. The apocrypha mentions David killing a dragon. Marco Polo wrote about seeing what we would call a dinosaur. Strabo, another Greek historian wrote about dragons and flying serpents in India. And the Chinese wrote about using dragon blood and bone in certain medicine. Just look up dragons in history and follow the rabbit hole.
About Marco Polo and chinese dragon bones - it's sort of true. Dinosaur fossils were often found in modern northern China and Mongolia since antiquity (at least those finding were written down, older ones should definatelly be done as well, but in that time there were no writting).
@@alexmalyarchuk1723 yup, and what about the Incan burial stones that depict humans riding on dinosaurs. Hundreds of years before the first fossils were ever discovered.
@@southpawhammer8644 not Incan stones, but Ica stones (hence Ica province in Peru). Most of them are fakes, made by Basilio Uschuya in 1960's and later popularised by Javier Cabrera Darquea. Uschuya had admitted, that he made them up. Some are real thing, made by precolombian cultures, but those ones has no pictures of stegosaurus and other "dinosaur pictures".
@Southpaw Hammer Ica stones are not the only fraud of such type. Earlier, in 1945, there was huge shouting about Acambaro statues from Mexico - about 30 thousands of small teracota figures, many resembled non-avian dinosaurs. All of them were "found" by Waldemar Julsrud. In 1960's scientists made final verdict - those figures were made in 1930's, not earlier. So Ica stones were not the first attempt to made name and fortune for "occasional" finders.
I read a book that postulated this theory, and the authors added in that the fire-breathing bit was achieved chemically. The caustic liquids were kept in two organs similar to the way a stomach and a gizzard have separate jobs to do within the digestive process. They pointed out that some reptiles spit venom, and dragon fire was a similar adaptation. Once the dragon died, the chemicals also helped dissolve the hollow bone evidence.
Raptors/birds of prey are actually the closest living relatives to dinosaurs. Obviously crocs/gators are real close too but not as close as those types of birds
The lack of fossils could just mean there was only a small population of dragons. How many fossils of galapagos tortoises do you expect will be dug up thousands of years from now?
Some time in the past even electric eels could've been considered otherworldly, nowadays we know much more of how animals can display such bizarre and extraordinary capabilities, who knows what others creatures roamed the earth back then..
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard...if people believed it. This is the same reason why the story of Noah appears throughout different religions by different names. But I always love Joe
we have bombardier beetle, fire/bullet ant, snakes, blood squirting lizards etc. so maybe dragons had something like venom /acid/ etc that gives a burning sensation. So i do agree that there existed dragons. maybe multiple species depending on geology and environment, just like how we have many different sub/species of animals that we have today.
Eagles are like 10 lbs and can pull goats off cliffs. I can't imagine those goats are less than 40lbs if not twice that much. So a 35lb eagle would be terrifying!
An eagle that just ate 2 lbs of meat won't be able to fly himself，let alone carry a goat while flying. The most you'll get is eagles pushing baby goats off a cliff or falling together with a baby goat
I took a baby bird (starling) out of a nest when I was 14 and raised it to adulthood and it was amazing, he would go outside with me and sit on my shoulder, then he’d fly off and eat an insect and then come back to my shoulder, and then after about 6 months he was fully grown, flying, eating bugs and I think his instincts kicked back in and he was like “wait a minute, I’m a wild bird” and he wouldn’t come back to me one night and then he hung around outside for a couple of days but he wouldn’t come to me anymore and then I just stopped seeing him one day, he was probably off to find a mate, but it was a really cool experience 😊
We raised a couple birds that fell out of a small tree we cut down on the property. We moved them nearby at about the same height but never saw the parents come back. First one who grew the fastest we found dead in the yard when he started leaving on his own no clue what happened, the second one would come back and land right on our back porch and call out until you came and fed him. He did this for some time until one day he never came back. Always wonder if he made it out there. Truly a cool experience of how trusting and dependent they can be, while also how resilient and adaptable they are. They do in fact grow up so fast, just hope the little guy made it to a decent lifespan.
This is actually most likely what happened, and the myth of them breathing fire comes from the pockets of natural gas left from the decomposition coming in contact with their torches.
English Dragons and Chinese Dragons are highly unlikely to have existed It is theorised Dragons came from a mixture of our 3 greatest threats back when we were prey Birds Reptiles (snakes mostly) And Leopards When you bring them all together, you get a dragon
It's actually very creepy though. The burden of proof that these civilizations communicated somehow, or passed down the same stories someway is just too large. Some weird shit happened for sure
@@thegreatfooch Graham Hancock, dude. His stories about exactly about that (and other amazing facts about ancient cultures. If you do not know him, I highly recommends his chats with Joe.
One theory i seen years ago said their skull had containers that could keep liquids seperate, then when fight or flight would kick in they would like sneeze the liquids out and when the meet on contact would combust. Like a certain beetle can do.
This actually comes from a book written in the late 90's. The man who wrote the book actually broke down the science, and science after him only tends to support his theory more and more. Few thoughts. Dinosaurs closest relatives are birds, and we are now aware they are all feathered animals. Birds are the ones with hallow bones. He theorized that some species actually do have ventral sacks which operate off of acidic digestive systems. A combination of a ventral sack and hallow bones would allow a larger dinosaur to fly instead of glide. the highly acidic stomach required for a ventral sack also produces a lot of hydrogen. Hydrogen is flamable, and with a mechanism to produce a spark like an eel, could turn them into an effective bire-breather. But yeah... the book was interesting, and it was surprising that the man that wrote it did the math on it. It was a theory to which the author himself didn't seem to portray as a 'belief'. **Edited: Someone revealed the book name: The Flight of Dragons by Peter Dickinson. Just putting this here so people stop asking. Interesting read.
That is so interesting! I thought dinosaurs most closely related animal were crocodiles and lizards, reptiles in general. Amazing your explanation about how it could be possible that they actually spit fire!
@@princessadora Completely incorrect. T-Rex, for instance, closest ancestor is the chicken. A close second is the Ostrich. In fact, most modern paleontologists are certain that almost all dinosaurs were feathered as well. This was first published in SCIENCE magazine in 2008, and is now widely accepted as fact, btw, in the paleontology community. I get it is weird to hear, having seen the same depictions of reptilian dinosaurs for your entire life. In fact the term raptor, means "bird of prey". So many paleontologists believed this was true long before it was proofed (both by fossil record and genetically), and considered fact by everyone. This also makes almost every dinosaur movie you've ever seen, utterly incorrect in the visuals used to portray dinosaurs as reptiles.
Dragons could have been 100% real, maybe not fire breathers but probably acid spitters. A giant flying reptile that could regurgitate acid could have totally been possible
Absolutely reasonable. It only makes sense that it was exaggerated but with basic reason or logic while also giving in to belief you can determine what seems realistic when toned down or what's complete bs. Bigfoot for me is a no. But dragons is a yes because there are more animals that resemble the concept of a dragon. Ie: Eagles and Komoda dragons so years ago I could consider an animal like a dragon but I don't want to believe that some big strong d!ck having ape man is running around in the woods still to this date.
@@stuartlittle69420 yeah bigfoot is definitely not real, there's a lot of conspiracy about a giant humanoid but a lot of it may be from large ape sightings
@@sigmachadtrillioniare6372 true! And the scaly throats probably produced enough friction to cause just a slight enough spark to combust that acid! I mean who knows how these ancient things evolved :0
The fire could have been symbolic to the flying lizard spitting acid? I mean they both burn but what sounds more badass in a story when explaining a gnarly burn mark, "I slayed a flying lizard that spits fire A DRAGON if u will." Or "I slayed a flying lizard that vomits bile that burns a sick iguana if u will :/ "
I saw a documentary on Nature or Nova years ago and they investigated this thoroughly. What biologists figured was these creatures had poor digestive systems that caused a build up of methane gas in their systems. This had a two fold effect: 1) with a belly full of gas it would make them light enough to fly (thing of a dirigible) and 2) this methane is extremely flammable so a huge exhalation of this gas would only need a spark to ignite it. They theorized that this spark could be caused by the animal picking up flint and getting it caught in their teeth and thereby a gnashing of their teeth would create a spark igniting the gas. Not that far fetched when you consider that birds have notoriously poor digestive systems and have to ingest sand and gravel to break down the seeds etc they eat.
Well the bombardier beetle can basically shoot fire out their butts by mixing to chemicals which cause a mini explosion of hot gas and chemicals which burn the preditor. So a dragon could have the same or similar organ in their mouth/neck
FACTS!!! I've told ppl about this for the longest and their small minds have almost always tried to ridicule me smh. If that beetle, no bigger than my thumbnail could cause smoke then a creature with the exact same mechanism the size of a horse/elephant/giraffe would ABSOLUTELY breath fire 🤔. Such a simple concept that escapes so many 🤦🏿♂️😒
When I lived in Nevada, I was so amazed that, not only did I see ZERO lightning bugs but people there had never even heard of them, let alone seen one. They don't travel west of the Mississippi
Marco Polo said that the Chinese emperor had 2 dragons amongst his collection of animals in his stables. He described it like the lion dogs/dragon dogs.
That would be very cool. I went through ancestry DNA and I'm very English Scottish and Scandinavian. In MOST of the ancient sagas and a lot of knights tales characters are known for slaying giant winged dragons. It was a very common story in mythology. It would be cool if we could find something on this.

Many of the gigantic dinosaur fossils we have today are from herbivores, which tended to have (like birds) a lot of hollow/porous bones. That doesn't keep them from fossilizing. In fact, fossilized bones from that era contain very little if any bone matter. It's mostly sedimentary rock thats seeped into the ground, replacing the space left by the skeleton.
My mom used to say dragons used to exist a long time ago when dinosaurs were around and she would go on to say they also survived the ice age but went extinct during medieval Times
Joe : its only 40 pounds, thats not that bad Also Joe : Eagles so light and yet so strong well Imagine a 40 pound Eagle then? If a 5 pound Eagle can carry away a 10 pound salmon then a 40 pound Eagle can carry away a 80 pound child in theory....
Not really how physics works. A 40 pound eagle with the same proportions would only be about 3 times the size and be able to carry (as lift is directly to proportional to wing surface area) 30 pounds, so not even able to get off the ground. In order to lift 80 pounds it would need to have a wingspan around 50-60 feet
@@VortexMMA_ My first calculation (the one that couldn't fly) was for an eagle 3 times the size because thats how big a 40 pound eagle would be with the same proportions. Square cube law means increasing size increases the mass exponentially, hence why it needs a ridiculous wing span to lift 80 pounds.
Bombardier beetle can spit fire. It combines two chemicals. China had positions in their royal court for Royal Dragon Feeders and Royal Dragon Tamers. The dragons weren’t as big. Fossils need very specific conditions to form. When they colonized new areas, they had to drive out the “dragons” that lived there. Dragons included a bunch of different types of creatures. Like reptile, or amphibians. Every dinosaur was a dragon, but not all dragons were dinosaurs. Dragons were spoken about, written about, and drawn in the history of dozens and dozens of countries around the world. Everyone knew you had to slay the dragons before you settled in a new area, because they were so terrible and terrifying. Dinosaur was not a term that was invented until the 1800’s, but the word “dragon” was used all the way through the 1600’s. “Terrible lizard” was not just a myth. How would ancient people and civilizations know what they looked like? How would they know how to draw them? Why are there drawings on caves, paintings on pottery, carvings on stone walls of ancient buildings. We think of “dragons” as a very thin narrow thing. But it’s actually much larger than that. Long necks. Long tails. Hard scales, not all could fly. Some were under water sea creatures with large fins and thick skin/bubbler. All of these were considered dragons, or serpents. If they posed a threat to humans, and were very hard to kill, and the only ones still alive are ones are in areas where humans have not extensively explored, of course they would be difficult to find now, and of course there would be each civilization with their own stories of the knights fighting them. It’s entirely plausible,especially if we have a larger perspective about what a “dragon” could be or would look like.
There's also a legend about these rare type of humans that were able to absorb the souls of dragons, men who could then breathe fire and shout like the dragons, crazy man.. craaazy
@SilentBob420BMFJ you may, or may not believe me because this is the internet, but, I am a Palaeontologist; and I can undeniably state there are bird fossils, one of the most famous one in archaeopteryx. There are also fossils of duck-or goose like birds from just before the comet impact. So birds fossils are rare, but they DO happen. And yea this is total bullshit, if you ask me a more likely explanation is that all these cultures have fossil outcrops which include certain species of dinosaur of which the skulls, or other pieces may have inspired these stories....
In Hollywood movies like Jurassic World, we see dinosaurs brought back from extinction-and hunting us down and eating us alive. And, no doubt, if humans and dinosaurs coexisted, some of that carnage certainly happened. But, for the most part, the opposite was true. We hunted them down and cooked them for dinner. In many of the legends and much of the ancient artwork that is exactly what we find-humans hunting down the giant reptiles and killing them. Lions and tigers and bears did not have it quite as bad as the dinosaurs (hence, they are still around). That is because our ancestors seemed particularly fixated on “slaying the dragon”!
I'm a New Zealander. I live in a small city at the top of the south island called Nelson. I went on a school trip over to the Golden Bay which is a 2.5 hour drive west of Nelson. We went on a walk through the national park and found remains of a moa just off the path. It was cool. Also is caves on top of Takaka hill. Huge limestone caves underground at the top of the hill. There are moa bones in there too. Another little story to add is while on another school trip to haast on the west coast of the south island we got told story's about the haast eagle. The local maori think a couple of them are still alive in the mountains of the fiordlands national park which is the bottom west of the south island.

Every ancient culture has a great flood myth and we now know there was a cataclysmic flood somewhere around 12,000 years ago. I think they found a meteor crator in greenland that they believe was responsible for it.
Never in my life have I considered the possibility of dragons actually existing, but now that I’m thinking about it more…it actually doesn’t sound THAT crazy. Especially considering the depictions of dragons that span across multiple cultures and societies.
Every depiction of a dragon comes from a story, or a myth, why didn't any historian at the time write about this dragons? If you are writing the story of Alexander, (the anabasis of Alexander by Arrian for example) , shouldn't Alexander have encountered dragons more than once? If he did, why not write about it? If it's because there were just another animal at the time, are you telling me that dragons existed and never attacked an army ? And Where are the fossils of dragons? And when and why people stopped thinking that dragons existed if they had to live with them? I don't think that a dragon is a very forgettable creature... And all of this without even mentioning the scientific questions, just the logical ones....
@@Name-cz5jj The Japanese army had to abandon Burma because many soldiers were devoured by crocodiles.

Well consider this. There are almost definitely entire orders of animals completely unknown to science, based on the implied gaps in the fossil record.
Also think about it like this if they did have hollow bones not only would they not fossilize but they would be lighter meaning the possibility of flight was increased. Also It is theorized they did not fart & waste that gas rather save it in their body like another set of lungs & use that methane combined with a spark from them grinding their teeth together to create fire. It is theorized they searched for or a mineral that would cause this spark the same way goats seek out salt
@@geronimogarciazeballos9521 The historian Cassius Dio recorded that the Roman army killed a dragon during the invasion of Carthage and sent the hide to the Roman Senate.
