As to Gemwolf's comment about that show, I saw it too! The show stated that dragons had a special enzyme in their stomach that produced helium, which is an extremely light gas that causes lift, which when added to the component of the rapid beating wings could lift a dragon.

Err... I don't recall saying that. Could you quote me or point me at the exact place, please... LoL...
Never mind. You are quite right, BlueSoldier. There are some amazing animals that can do some amazing stuff, often dazzling scientists. Thus the scientific probability of a dragon being the way it is depicted cannot be questioned. (Although I do believe that there were some tails added along the line.) But the truth remains that due to the lack of evidence and "activity" we can with the least amount of doubt say that dragons no longer exist.
But as said, there is well enough proof (maybe misinterpreted) that they did exist maybe as recent as the late Middle Ages. (With hundreds of paintings and stories of brave knights battling dragons.) Is the idea behind "Reign of fire" really that far-fetched? Could it be that the dragons are hibernating deep underground?
