Even though dragons are found mostly in fairy tales and folklore, it is possible that dragons had lived or are still living.www.valserrie.com Dragon Theories One popular dragon theory is that dragons couldve been a type of dinosaur. Since dragons were posed as especially large reptilian creatures, it is possible they lived as a part of the dinosaur age, surviving and thriving because of their size and strength. And, also, along with the dinosaurs, they couldve become extinct for some of the same reasons; a dramatic change of temperature, a meteor, and so on. Then, stories created about dragons couldve come from sightings of bones and fossils; which later deteriorated into nonexistence; an explanation for why we never found any. Dragon Theories Con. Another theory is that some animals, such as eels and snakes, couldve been deformed, and mistaken for a different creature, such as dragons. Therefore, if people of that time had spotted the deformed animal, they probably wouldve made what they actually saw more extravagant to give them fame among their people. Later on, these tales probably became too impossible to believe, which is why we discard the thought of dragons being more then fairytales. However, these tall tales could have some truth to them, hidden by time and human imagination. My Personal Theory In my opinion, I think that dragons couldve been a extremely large and powerful type of dinosaur, which, in the time of the disaster that made the dinosaurs become extinct, withdrew into the ocean. There, they couldve survived and reproduced for many years, feeding on the prehistoric sea creatures beneath the waves. As the other animals adapted, the dragons probably did too, and became a type of sea serpent. Then, when the age of the humans came, people could've discovered these dragons, found a way to defeat them, and hunted them to extinction for their tough bones, scales, teeth, meat and other entrails. This also explains why we never found any remains of dragons; we used them for survival purposes.
