The traditional dragon has three sets of limbs (back and front legs + wings) whereas dinosaurs have two. Dragons are known to breathe fire, while no known dinosaurs did. However, both dinosaurs and dragons are big, scaly, and have lots of teeth. So yes, dinosaurs are similar in some ways to dragons.

No. While findings of dinosaur fossils might have inspired some legends of dragons, the simple truth is dinosaurs are a group of animals that went extinct millions of years before the first humans appeared, while dragons are mythical creatures created by the human imagination.

I believe there might be a relationship. What if dragons are actually dinosaurs? If the wings of the dragon were made from cartilage1, then the wings would wear away from decomposition. Therefore, the bones of the "dinosaur" are left over. The Ancient Chinese scientists found dinosaur bones and thought that they were dragon bones. Who knows, maybe they were.

Also, what if the historians and anatomists2 were wrong about the estimation of how long ago dinosuars existed. Perhaps, man and dinosaur lived together once.

cartilage1- a firm, elastic, flexible type of connective tissue of a translucent whitish or yellowish color; gristle.

anatomists2- scientists who study anatomy (the structure and function of our bodies).

No. Dinosaurs were real, living creatures. Dragons are figments of the human imagination, though they were possibly inspired in part by early discoveries of dinosaur fossils.

Are alligators related to dragons?

In a sense, yes. Alligators are related to dinosaurs, or rather, are the only surviving dinosaurs that did not "evolve." Birds are also surviving dinosaurs, but they evolved from the larger, reptilian types of dinos. Alligators, and crocodiles, just got smaller. I know what you are thinking, "How does that answer the question? It asks if alligators are related to dragons, not dinosaurs." In ancient times, people referred to dinosaurs as dragons. Dragons are also mentioned in the Bible to refer to dinosaurs.
