Are dragons real? While most people say that dragons are not real I think that the question and its answer is actually more complicated than that. I don't think the question we should be asking is so much if they exist as it is what they are. Dragons as spoken of in history are described as a serpent or reptile often of large proportion. Depending on the culture or the part of the world you get your stories from they have different attributes all of which can be attributed to living creatures we are aware of today. When I say "we are aware of", I do not mean that everybody knows of them. Let's be honest there are many strange creatures in this world that many people are not familiar with. This does not mean the animal does not exist.
There are venomous lizards in existence today and the fact that they are venomous was not always known. There are also lizards that can fly, sort of. Not only are there flying lizards but many who can appear to have wings. Think of what this might have looked like to an observer who is very superstitious and who has never heard of such a creature. There are lizards that stand, walk and run on their hind legs. There are snakes that can glide great distances through the air as well. Now if we put everything we know of dragons together and perhaps pick different parts of the stories and images we have we may be able to solve the mystery about whether dragons are real or not.
Photos of dragons do exist but these dragons photos may not be what you expect. You see, most of us when we think of dragons today think of a gigantic fire breathing creature with huge reptilian wings. However, we must realize that words and their definitions are something that change over time. In fact each word we use today had an invention point somewhere in the past often from combining two existing words. This is also the case with dragon and it did not always mean a fire breathing flying reptile. The dragons photos we see today are mostly of either a hoax depicting the before mentioned creature or photos of certain types of lizards.
