Is there any truth behind the story´s about dragons?

Question

I know that there is no dragons. But I want to know where the storys come from.

There are storys about dragons in all countrys.

Is it possible for a animal to spray fire?

Answer 1

Just something to think about....

The spitting cobra can shoot venom accurately from seven feet away. (Reptile)

The skunk can spray from nine feet away, and the smell can be smelt from 1.5 miles away. (Mammal)

The archer fish can squirt water five feet away (and hit a tiny bug). (Fish)

And of course there are flying snakes (Chrysopelea), squirrels (Pteromyini), lizards (Draco blanfordii), frogs (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus) and foxes (bats *grin*).

I'd imagine that once upon a time there might have been a rather large gliding reptile that spat venom, perhaps even a venom that could ignite. Or perhaps the venom was rather acidic and "burned" whatever it landed on (similiar to the burning sensation of spitting cobra venom in the eyes).

Good luck!

Answer 2

The Komodo Dragon is a very real reptile that exists today.

Answer 4

Job 41:14-21, who dares to open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth? His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;each is so close to the next that no air can pass between. They are joined together and cannot be parted. his snorting throws out flashes of light;his eyes are like the rays of dawn. Firebrands stream from his; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.

this is my best reference if you do not believe what I have typed look it up in the new international version of the bible.
