who says there isn't now(on a different planet perhaps on underwater what is nessy or that champ questions no one can answer with absolute certainty)can you post a link to that though where ever you found your info

[Naomi]

Yeah ill post it if I can find it a few years ago there was also a thing on discovery channel about it.

[Rune Scapes O09.5]

it wasn't real I remember watching that that was a sort of an if...

[wraith]

Well this is the article....even if it is a fake it was quite convincing to me.

Real Dragon Fossils on Display in China
Some fossils, named the “China dragon fossils”, were recently exhibited in the Xinwei Ancient Life Fossils Museum in Anshun, Guizhou. When archeologists first stripped the clay off the fossil, they found the dragon had a pair of horns above its head and the shape of the dragon was very like the legendary animal often described in books and stories.



Dragons have often appeared in Chinese legends. The dragon with two horns on its head is regarded as a totem. The totem was first invented by Chinese ancestors and worshipped by the Chinese people. Therefore Chinese people are also called the “descendents of the dragon”. For a long time, scientists thought that the dragon was a fictional animal existing only in stories.

The dragon fossil was found in Guanling County, Anshun City, in 1996, and has been kept in a good condition. It is measured 7.6 meters long. Its head is 76 centimeters long and the neck is 54 centimeters long. The body is 2.7 meters in length and 68 centimeters in width, and the tail is 3.7 meters long.

The dragon’s head is in a triangle shape. Its mouth is 43 centimeters long. The widest part of the head is 32 centimeters long. The horns project from the widest part of the head, and are symmetrical and 27 centimeters long. They are a little bit curved and tilted, which makes the fossil look very much like the legendary dragon.

The China dragon was a reptile animal living in the ocean in 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. It also laid eggs on land. The animal lived on fish and small reptile animals.

This is the first time that China found a dragon fossil with a pair of horns. Its discovery provides some evidence to prove that dragons might really have horns. The fossil provides important scientific information for people to trace the origin of the Chinese legendary dragon.

wow...this is definitely not the same thing as I saw I wonder if it has any fire breathing power or anything like that do you know if they did a dissection?

[Naomi]

I think they might have. This is only part of the article I found...I could find the whole thing. But the more I think about it the more something comes to mind about breathing fire being possible.

[Rune Scapes O09.5]

certainly possible plausible even and if not fire then something that could be mistaken as such
