    I work as a pathologist. I deal in corpses, and this is important.
    A bloated corpse, filled with gases, weighs substantially less than it does when the gases are released.
    If dragons developed something akin to a swim bladder, that harnessed gases produced in their gut, they could reduce their weight by as much as 20%
    Add in hollow bones, and a specially adapted wing structure that leans more towards long glides, or updraft riding, and flight becomes more possible.
    So we know dragons (universally in all mythos) prefer denning high on mountain tops, or deep in the ocean.
    We know they eat animals, mostly large herbivores.
    So, if dragons produced methane, or another, even lighter gas, and either launched from high cliffs, or used high speed swimming with a breaching launch, they could get into the air.
    Now if their wings were right, once in the air, they would need minimal wing flapping as they would primarily ride warm updrafts, or cut into the wind to get more lift in their glide.

      Additionally, if a dragon formed and reserved methane in an organ like that and was able to then breathe it out… would could assume they’d be able to product combustive blasts from their mouths if, say, they had some sort of sparking reflex in their voice box that was triggered when they roar. There are insects who can create sparks with their bodies, so it’s not unrealistic to assume a dragon could do the same (?)

And for a variation, there could be species that use the sulfur in their guts in a organ or gland in order to spit sulfuric acid.

    I saw a documentary about this. It basically tried to make dragons realistic but still have the same properties like the ability to fly, size, and the ability to shoot fire from its mouth. It's really interesting. For example, the people in the documentary imagined that if a dragon was real, it would have a special organ that stores large amounts of helium gas in order to make itself lighter in order to fly; it also can "breath" fire, but I forget some of the requirements to do that and how.

    • @manastorm5308
      @manastorm5308 Рік тому +14

      One way the fire breathing could be done is with methane or hydrogen. It lessens the dragon's weight, kinda like a swim bladder, and could theoretically allow them to breath fire.

    From a lot of things I have seen involving ‘biologically accurate dragons’, I think most of them include dragons with hollow bones like birds and/or air sacs filled with very light air like hydrogen, which may also be expelled and ignited to give the dragon it’s fiery breath (how it acquires the hydrogen idk). While I’m sure those 2 factors don’t completely change if those dragons would be able to fly or not, its still a cool concept, and I think those details with some of the more frail/lightly-built dragons could theoretically work.

    Light bones decompose faster so that's propably why there aren't any fossils

    I saw a clip from a movie where they dragons were able to add lift to their bodies by breaking down sediment, the resulting gas was lighter than air and helped with getting them airborne.

    One idea i had for how they could fly is that they could use the same concept that larger pterosaurs (like Quetzalcoatlus) did. Basically they would soar instead of flapping they're wings rapidly, only flapping every once in awhile.

    Animal planet did a mockumentary. They added a anatomical detail that combined both the fire-breathing and the wing to body ratio. They had a separate sack full of hydrogen that was a byproduct of the digestive bacterium. They needed this hydrogen to both fuel their fire breath and gives them the extra lift for flight. If they use their fire breath too much then they were unable to fly.

  • @theaustinXL1
    @theaustinXL1 Рік тому +1

    you're wrong because the dragons actually can fly their bodies actually strong enough however some dragons don't need wings at all because all they need to do is just walk around in fight some of them can even swim but you're right at one thing the bill would be too expensive

    “Animal Planet ‘Dragons a Fantasy Made Real’” the general story was finding a frozen dragon preserved enough to find an organ that produced Hydrogen gas to help with flight, also combined with certain pure metals they chew up and they could breath fire.
    You know, if any of that was really real.
