We all listen and saw in the movies about the dragon and how a dragon breathes fire. But out of our fantasy stories, did we ever thought about its real existence?
Maybe some of us including me thought about it, today in this section we discuss the fire dragon’s real existence by the research we are going to do. Thanks to google and the facility of the internet that helps us to know about what we just think.
The reality of a fire dragon:
In ancient times, obviously, when we were not born, dinosaurs exist in this world they are from the family of reptiles. They not only ground animals but also fly, as they are big reptile birds.
Dragons are not real but they are modified from these flying dinosaurs. In stories, or movies they used dragons are used as a fictional character to fascinate kids.
Now, one thing is clear that dragons are just a fictional character, but flying replies did exist in the world. The next question arises here that are they really big enough to kill humans or to eat them easily as we have seen in the movie Jurassic park?
The answer is yes, they are called Quetzalcoatlus northropi. They are pterosaur (flying reptiles) from the cretaceous of North America. Northropi belongs to the family of Azhdarchidae. They had a very long neck like a giraffe, the only toothless bird with a long beak.
Size can be very but on average a northropi is approximately equaled to a giraffe. Its weight could be around 200 to 250 kg that equals a modern tiger.
Theory of evolution
Scientists revealed, why they are not existing in the modern world? We all heard about ancient times that human height is much longer than now (in the modern world). Likewise, birds and the other creatures are larger than now but due to evolution and various climatic changes these creatures lost their existence or they evolute with time.
We all have heard that a human was a monkey and with time they modified into a human, another example is about the snake, a study shows that snake had legs but unfortunately they don’t use it and with time it disappears and now snake has no legs.
The study reveals many more about the creatures that do not exist in the modern world but fossil proves their presence.
Sadly, we can’t see those prestigious creatures that now just exist in our fantasy world although one thing that we can experience, a modern real-life flying dragon.
