20. Dragons: Did they Actually Exist?

DRAGONS! They appear in mythologies from around the world, for millennia. But are they truly just a mythical creature, or could it be possible that they once actually existed? We're going on a quest to find out, piecing together mentions of dragons in ancient texts on natural history, medieval bestiaries, centuries worth of literature, as well as artwork, maps, the stars, and the earth itself. Oh, and of course, actual recorded dragon sightings! Join me on this epic journey!
