There have been proposals for a connection between dinosaurs going back as far as the 1870s, but such proposals fell by the wayside until the discovery of the carnivorous dinosaur deinonychus in 1969. Scientists noted its birdlike traits, and the view of dinosaur started to change around then. Several significant discoveries favoring this connection were made in the 1990s and 2000s, including evidence of feathers in an increasing number of species.

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.
