Mythical Creatures Vs. Living Relative (1) - Dragons
Thanks to ‘writers block’, I decided to start this series telling us about mythical creatures of old and their modern day ‘relatives’. I hope you enjoy the series, because I will publish more articles based on response from you guys. It is also the first time I will be using bidbots to promote this post as a way to reach a larger audience, so please don’t be offended if you’re part of the nobidbots campaign.
Today we’re looking at The Mythical Dragons vs. their closest relative, the Komodo Dragon.
We all know about Dragons. From the Mythical tales of the middle ages to the blockbuster television shows like Eragon, Game of Thrones, Dragons have come to be accepted as a symbol of magic.
Some of the unique features of these mythical beasts include Fire breathing, Flying, Laying of Eggs (must be something) and performing magic. The unique thing about the Dragon mythology is that it has roots among several cultures such as the British, Chinese and even some parts of Africa. It will be amazing to ever get a confirmation of the actual existence of these Mythical creatures in times past.
Closest Relative: Komodo Dragon
Yes, Dragons do exist. They don’t just perform magic, breathe fire or fly. Located majorly in the islands of Indonesia, the Komodo Dragons are reptilian, lizard like beings that belong to the monitor lizard family. While they are definitely not the god-like scary dragons, Komodo dragons are no slouches themselves. The bacteria released from the mouth of a Komodo can paralyze a full grown man for quite some time, so they’re definitely meant to be given their due respect.

@empress-eremmy are there relics of dragons anywhere in the world to prove their existence?
The historical Dragons we see on TV have not been proven, but KOMODO dragons exist in Indonesia

speculation only.
