Dragons did exist in real life

I just got done watching the discovery channel take on a dragon they
found preserved in a glacier, turns out the beast had a method of
producing fire from its mouth but needed certain materials to do it.
Around the dragon they found 15th century knights and when they
autopsied it they found that it died by a stab wound (Turns out all
those heroic tales of knights and dragons were true!) The dragons also
were quite strong and had gnarled teeth. Yet man drove them to
extinction along with the fact that their was an imbalance of male
dragons to female one's

I Just think that this is incredible, I always thought that dragons
were folklore and a mere myth. Let me know what yall think!

It was the Animal World Channel, not the History Channel. The History
Channel has no room on its schedule for dragons. Ninety percent of the
History Channel is devoted to WW2 which is why it is called, with
amusement, the Hitler Channel.

You are aware that his documentary was a faux documentary and there is
not an iota of factual evidence that dragons ever existed or could
exist. The amount of planinum in rocks is so miniscule that these beast
could not consume enough platinum to catalyze hydrogen combustion. In
addtion there are no bacteria who gaseous output is pure hydrogen.
Methane yes, pure hydrogen no. Platinum is half again as pricey as gold
because it is so rare.

Additionally the aeordynamics of the dragson as portrayed (they looked
more like Nazgul birdies than dragons) is physically impossible. The
wingspan is not sufficient even with the purported hydrogen bladders.
The bladders did not displace enough air to give any significant lift to
the beast. There are no dragons. There never were any dragons. No
dragons that looked like the T.V. dragons could ever fly.
