Ther's no reason to speculate that they can't exist, I mean, all they need is wings, be a bit larger, and claws. Also, they could breathe fire if
they had an organ that held hydrogen and spark teeth that would set the fire going.
Actually, its very probable that they existed. i mean, how else would the myth have got going?

It was a two hour program and it explained how it flew as well as how it made fire.

Dragons
I am sure you can find this show somewhere around the net.
Watcher just beat me to it.

Yeah, no. A lot of people thought it was real but it was a mockumentary. They did not find an actual dragon.

So many cultures refer to them, have depictions of them, it makes me think there must have been some sort of animal that looked like a dragon. If so,
they died out. But - where are their bones? We've got bones from all kinds of extinct animals, but none for dragons that I know about.
hmm. interesting.

I love the idea that Dragons exist.. in this neck of the woods, the Anglo Saxon cronicles quotes the South Saxons (Sussex) as having the "most
wonderous beast and serpents" indeed there are many legends of the Knucker Dragons that were said to exist all along the Sussex flats.
Given this part of the worlds link to the Iguanodon with the inital discoveries found in Tilgate
forest, which is just about a mile from St Leonards forest and it's place in Dragon lore.
So a theory has been put forward that perhaps some form of Iguanodo did exist at the time the South Saxons arrived on these shores..
But my personal opinion is that given the make up of the Weald it is
possible the South Saxons found fosilised Iguanodon remains and came to the conclusion the fossils were that of a real animal roaming the weald :-)
But it is nice to imagine Iguanodos roaming the Weald :-)
