text: do you think dragons are real i do?? i think dragons are way real because i have got 2 books on dragonolgy. they tell all bout the amazing creatures. yes i do believe in dragons.  dragons probably originated as one of many branches of the reptiles, no later than 200,000,000 years ago in the late triassic. this was a period of great reptile diversification, during which emerged some of the most successful reptile groups, in terms of both abundance and diversification. dragon evolution echoes the evolution of the archosaurs of the time. dragons took to the air, as did the pterosaurs, and became aquatic, like the plesiosaurs.  please check the site it may be of help to you.
