The Existence of Dragons!

[WrittenFromUtopia]

Did (do) Dragons exist?

Job 41:18 His sneezings flash forth light,
and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
19 Out of his mouth go flaming torches;
sparks of fire leap forth.
20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,
as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 His breath kindles coals,
and a flame comes forth from his mouth.

Good question.

I've wondered that myself, I've heard crocodiles...I don't think so....T Rex had some prey eating saliva as do the komodo dragons today...I like the thought of dragons.

I'm not convinced it's a "physical" description in all the details

I painted a picture of him where he emits steam, but that was imagination on my part. He really should emit steam though, don't ya think?

There is a Bombardier Beetle that does use a fire as a defense mechanism. It is not past the realm of possibility that there was a bigger animal which has done this.

That is fascinating - both the description and the photo.

Some scientists think a couple dinosaurs could spew "fire" with a similar mechanism to the bombardere beattle.
