Bonus points for the Doctor Who ref!!

I personally believe that the word "dragon" was an archiac way of describing dinosaurs. It does seem odd that practically every culture describes huge, scale covered creatures. So, I'd be shocked if those legends were not based on some sort of real creature. Now, they may not have looked like what our movies show, but I think that "dragons" to a degree existed, and thus could still *possibly* exist. I also think that it is possible if not likely that some animal was capable of breathing fire. That is just me, but I think there is at least enough historical hints for me to believe it. It's just a fun thing to think about, but I think dragon myths are based in fact... in fact I wrote my final thesis paper on that subject.
