One of the oldest legends around is the majestic dragon. There are many stories that speak of these legendary beasts and how terrifying and powerful they were. From Europe to China, Russian to Greek mythology.Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-like wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with wings but only a single pair of legs is known as a wyvern.
The terrible creatures are keepers of treasure in Western cultures and often considered evil and fearsome. But in other cultures, dragons are more serpent-like and are considered sacred beasts.
Eastern dragons are divine and considered a good omen. There are people who have reported seeing dragons, and recently the skeletal remains of such beast have been found in China.
A 60ft long dragon skeleton was discovered in Zhangjiakou City, China, and people believe it's the real deal.
The skull has horns; the long spine has a pair of arms and legs.
Could this be the remains of a real dragon?
Probably just a large collection of bones linked together for the appearance of it being a 60ft Dragon.
But still cool!
