Dragons are both fascinating, mysterious creatures. Legends about them stretch from East Asia to Central America. Today, researchers are delving into the origins of the myth. Dragons have been an integral part of culture and history for centuries. Sometimes as fire-breathing monsters, other times as healing spirits. But what is the truth behind the legends?
