Real Dragon Fossils on Display in China



This “China dragon fossil” has a pair of horns above its head and its shape resembles the legendary animal often described in books and stories. It was recently exhibited in the Xinwei Ancient Life Fossils Museum in Anshun, Guizhou.

Dragon-Fossil

Dragons have often appeared in Chinese legends and apparently, Chinese people are often called the “descendents of the dragon”. For a long time, scientists (and me) thought that the dragon was a fictional animal existing only in stories.

The China dragon was a reptile animal living in the ocean in the Triassic Period about 200 million years ago. It was an amphibian. It spent most of its time living in water, although sometimes it walked on land. In which case, it sounds like it didn’t fly and couldn’t breathe fire. Not the same – never mind.

    actually, Discovery Channel recently featured a guy proving that dragons do exist by using modern technology and scientific fact from living animals that either resembles a Dragon or have Dragon’s mystical abilities.

    Such as the Komodo Dragon…
    A Beetle that can actually generate a hot stream of methane that can go up to 100 degrees (water boiling point)
    Reptiles that actually have wings in Indonesia.

    There’s lots of proven fact around the world that have some sort of connection to Dragons.

    The fact that Komodo is branded as a Dragon and that there are reptiles (which is what a Dragon is too) with wings…
