According to LiveScience, Europeans did not discover Komodo dragons until 1910.

I do think Pythons were known (page 7), which is why dragons were sometimes refered to as "worms"
Different parts of the worlds have different dragons.
The Asian dragon and the European dragons are very different from each other, and the South American Dragon is very different from those two.I am not
aware of African or Australian dragons.
Also there was a type of two legged dragon, sometimes called a wyvern, which was very birdlike, having a pair of wings, and hind leggs only, if my
memeory serves me correctly.
I loved the Discovery channel show, and have a DVD of it.
