Given their supposed size, and being carnivorous, no. They would completely wipe out their food supply faster than it could reproduce. The amount of food they would have to eat to get enough energy to function day-to-day would be staggering. That's why herbivores can grow larger than carnivores, because of the energy intake versus expense when it comes to "hunting."
If the dragons were much smaller, then I think it could be possible. I'm more interested in the fire-breathing mechanism. I think it's in the movie Reign of Fire, where the dragons have 2 sacs in their throats that eject chemicals, which when mixed produce fire... sort of like the infamous Greek Fire, I suppose?
I'm thinking of Western dragons here, but I'd be interested to know how Eastern dragons would fly without wings...
i would be interested in how they fly as well. there supposed size would make them heavy and therefore im not sure if their wings could hold them. i did see a movie/ mock documentry about finding a frozen dragon and its young in a mountain and they had proposed that dragons could of had a sack in their stomachs that fill with helium and i think there bones where made of a strong but light material as well. it was quite fascinating. it went into details about mating rituals, incubating eggs, hunting, life cycle etc. it was really good.i think it was called 'the last dragon'
the wingless dragons? like the chinese lung. i think thats the one featured in a lot of chinese art. i do have a couple of books on dragons dedcribing lots of different dragons. really interesting stuff. very detailed.
I've had this conversation with my friend not too long ago, it is something to think about indeed. Since dragons are mostly from the astral realm, they might be able to appear to some as physical. But this would be something considered of the mind. My friends commit was that he highly believe that they do live on the physical realm, but they are in places that humans can't go to discover them or disturb their 'sleep'. He believe that they are in a deep sleep of some sort, almost like how some lizards do during winter, hibernate.
My teacher in high school also told a story about how dragon's were a mixture of ones fears, massive creatures that one would be terrified of. I do not believe that story to highly, but I'm not sure what culture it is from.
Honestly, I believe dragons would be able to exisit on this realm, but they would probably be hunted down and killed by people. I could see a medium sized dragon living in a rain forest or a large dragon high in the mountains. They could feed off of mountain goats, rabbits, and anything else that looks tastey to them. lol.
I would feel better at knowing that dragons only live on the astral realm, this way they can be safe from crazy dragon hunters. -^^-
