2005-04-22 [Shadewind]: Dragons aren't reptiles, they are closer related to birds like dinosaurs are. They are actually a warm blooded creature. Even ice dragons.
2005-04-22 [ArchangelGabriel]: There are no ice dragons. Ice dragons are an invention of writers. There are no stories about ice dragons from before the creation of high fantasy writing....
2005-12-13 [moonscale]: They may be mythological but that does not deny their existence. I think it depends on the species and habitat. In the polar regions they are most certainly warm blooded, in the tropics maybe not. And why shouldn´t there be ice dragons? Just because humans discovered them later, like the laws of motion, or gravity, or electricity, does not mean ice dragons dont exist. Also, Flying dragons cant have so much fat. Imagine a brontosaurus trying to lift off! Dragons (that fly) need to be relatively light.
2006-01-20 [Dereckson]: Dragons are very active creatures. How can you imagine a quick-tempered cold blooded creature ? So there are warm blooded, with no doubt.
2006-01-22 [ArchangelGabriel]: But have you ever seen a snke? Their fast little cold blooded demons they are.
2006-01-27 [BlackDragon]: Cold blooded creatures gain energy from the sun or any other heat sources. A dragon that lives in a warm climate could possible be cold blooded. And maybe even survive a cold winter at the same way the snakes do.
2006-06-24 [Draymond]: I firmly retain the thought that dragons are homioexothermi
2006-06-24 [Draymond]: To finish off, dragons in these areas (which seem highly populated with them) would be unlikely places for cold blooded organisms wishing to maintain their body temperatures through the meager heat and solar energy. (As stated above) In addition, I've never heard of two members of the same species having totally different metabollic processes, (warm blooded or cold). NEVER
2006-07-06 [BlackDragon]: Sounds good. Now we just need to find a draggie and prove it.. =)
2006-07-06 [Draymond]: Draggie? What are they? Drag queens? I don't think so. But until then we can only spectulate...
2006-07-07 [BlackDragon]: Dragon, hehe..
2006-07-07 [Draymond]: Reminds me of a picture of a dragon that was a bad joke really. (seriously...ti
2006-07-08 [BlackDragon]: hehehe.. and what you just said makes me think of a picture I saw on the internet. It was a huge green dragon who was standing right beneath a cliff. In one hand it was holding a doll of itself and in the other a thingy you kill flies with. Soldiers were running towards the dragon doll with their swords drawn. Wish I could show it to you.. =/
2006-07-09 [Draymond]: *has pity for fellow green dragon kin*...sounds interesting.
2006-07-09 [BlackDragon]: Mm.. *smiles* =)
2008-04-24 [Aura Darklight]: i believe that it depends on the type of dragonand how they interact with their environment on wether they are cold blood or hot or wether its both. though if you want my opion dragons are not like most creatures on earth and there are so many types of dragon that it therefore really makes this poll stupid. now do not miss understand me the pollitself isnot stupid. its just that there are so many types of dragons that no one can really be sure wether a dragon is cold or warm blooded. i guess that its just how you chose to look at it so i really can not say that one is right or wrong
2008-04-24 [Draymond]: *eyebrow* Well now, if we actually had a draggie to stick a thermometer into, that would solve all the wordly issues on it wouldn't it? XD Though, many things could describe what a dragon's thermal equilibrium is. Labeling them as reptiles, however, seems a bit "inside the box" as they're quite a bit more complex than your caged gecko. However, cold blooded seems more advantageous in water settings, while warm blooded makes better sense for flying and chasing down prey (added stanima). Then again, tuna and swordfish are warmblooded, as well as some species of sharks.
Would somebody count the mitochondria in a dragon cell?? That'd be helpful!! LoL
Some say they consume plenty, others say they consume sparingly...sp
Warm blooded seems more advantageous for a beast primarily designed for hunting.
Any takers for a counter arguement?
2008-05-09 [BlackDragon]: Draygun, that sounds quite good.. warm blooded like that would mean they're capable of living in cold, icy areas as well.. right?
2008-05-11 [Draymond]: Mmm, yes. Dragons in icy environments may evolve to grow insulating fur possibly, or perhaps have insulating scales. Basically dragons can be whatever we want them to be, the argument is to which is more efficient given their lifestyle.
2008-05-11 [BlackDragon]: Yes.. that's true. That's what I love so much about dragons <3
2008-06-02 [Aura Darklight]: i agree
