Science of Dragons

Dragons are stuff of myth and fantasy... or are they?
Join me as we examine the scientific plausibility of dragons! We will answer questions like: Did something like a dragon once exist? and Could something really breath fire?

For those saying: "couldn't a dragon just possess electric producing organs similar to an electric eel?" you are mistaken. There is a difference between electricity and an electric spark. Electricity is different than an electric spark. Electricity is simply the flow of an electric charge. An electric spark is an abrupt electrical discharge that occurs when a sufficiently high electric field creates an ionized, electrically conductivechannel through a normally-insulating medium, often air or other gases or gas mixtures. They are not the same thing.
