Are there such animals as dragons?
The Komodo Dragon is a large lizard that lives in Indonesia. See related link for more information.
Are dragons still alive today?
Most would say no, but there's a high likelyhood that they inhabit areas that humans cannot easily access, like dense rainforests or mountain peaks. I have had a personal encounter with one of the smaller members of the legendary race, but of course, what good are eyewitness accounts?
Can dragons breathe out hot water?
According to Tolkien there were only two things hot enough to melt the one ring: the fires of mount Doom or a dragons breath.
What is the main difference between Western dragons and Chinese dragons?
European dragons are known to have leathery wings, breathe fire, and they say that they're big enough to eat a whale. Oriental dragons are said to (some of them are said this) they have feathery wings, can breathe venom, ice, ect. that kind of stuff. They are said to be bigger than an oak tree.
The biggest difference is in appearance. The European dragon most often has a very feline body whereas the Oriental dragon is snake-like and most usually has whiskers.
I'm a dragon myself, and, as far as I'm concerned, you're both wrong! I happen to be a European dragon. In reality, there aren't any dragons that go by "Oriental", but European dragons, such as myself, are at the absolute top of the food chain. We do have leathery wings, but we aren't huge by default, we happen to be able to control our size willingly (Shrink to as small as we please or grow to as large as we please). We do not have a feline-like body! What you were thinking of happens to be a different classification class of dragon, not often called by the correct term, which is Phelera. Phelera dragons are closely related to Europeans, but aren't the same. Also, every single class of dragons can have control over any specific element.
A Chinese dragon is a lot longer than a European dragon and European dragon is known to be vicious, cruel, dangerous and are considered evil, whereas Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize luck and hope.
A Chinese dragon is longer, low to the ground, and does not have wings. According to legend it can fly without them. A European dragon is large, four-legged, and has wings. (Whisper-European dragons are better, in my opinion, but I mean no offense and please don't be mad because of my opinion. They are my favorite.)
A European dragon is fourlegged and it does have wings. But they are not evil or vicious by original nature. To say that is narrow-minded and foolish.
What does a air dragon look like?
It is a marine fish, a syngnathidae, it looks just like a sea horse except it has long leaf-like protrusions all over its body. They almost look like floating seaweed to camouflage from other fishs'. Also, some of them CAN CHANGE COLOR TO BLEND TO THEIR SURROUNDINGs.
Were dragons real in the old days?
Yes. Fossils/bones of dinosaurs could actually be dragon bones--at least, that's what some people say. Of course, a lot of people say that dragon's bones are hollow and light like birds'--allowing them to fly--, so dino bones couldn't be dragons'.
What is the meaning of Two Intertwined Dragons?
In the Mabinogion, a collection of medieval Welsh stories, in the tale of Lludd and Liewelys, there is a struggle between a white dragon and a red dragon. The red dragon represents Wales and the white dragon represents the invading Saxons. In the end, both dragons get drunk with mead and are buried in the center of the island of Britain, at Oxford, in a stone coffin. The white dragon comes to symbolize death, with its absence of color, and the red takes on the role of anger. Their internment together unites their fates but they could rise together, ready to repel invaders at any time. In Arthurian legend, Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur, was supposed to have used the dragon as his symbol in war. Even today, the red dragon is a part of the coat of arms of the Prince of Wales.
In later Christian iconography, the dragon appears most often as a symbol of the devil. The battles of St. George and St. Michael symbolize the perpetual struggle between good and evil.
Ok, I'm not that good at coming up with a ton of names...depends on what kind of dragon and the area. For example, let's say it's an Asian Lung. In that case it's name would be something Asian-sounding. Something like Kiyo or Tatsu. (these names aren't mine they're Asian words meaning dragon or famous dragons in legend)
If it's a Marsupial Dragon in Africa, then a name would be an African name.
So, ya know what I mean? Figure out what kind of dragon and the area, and find a name from that country/area/whatever that you like. :)

How do you get a baby dragon in real life?
You must have a special mark that symbols Chi. If you have a mark of Chi you must imbrace it. For example when meditating think about what you would look like as a dragon and what would you do for Earth and Heaven. If you do this succesfully you must be proven to be worthy of being a dragon. You will have a job to be done and you can probably turn back into a human when you please. But be warned you must do your job for iternity. You must keep you word and protect the balance of the universe. Remember with great power comes great responsibility.
Have there been any sightings of dragons?
Gryphons are not and have never been real creatures. There is, however, mounting evidence that the ancients stumbled upon the fossil remains of a Ceratopsian dinosaur and mistook it for a giant winged quadroped.
If the frill on a ceratopsian (especially one with large holes in it) were smashed and spread over the back, combined with the beak-like face, pointed front toes and flat back feet, I can see the skeletal resemblance.
The brief and simple answer is that no one knows. The most likely explanation is that an oral traditions of monster were exaggerated by following generations until the stories were finally written down giving rise to different types of dragons in different parts of the world.

Frost dragons survive in icy areas. It is their natural habitat. Their eggs need to be layed in ice before they can hatch. Their temperature, like humans, determine the gender of the baby.
They may well be...icy areas are hard to get at...and Frost Dragons live in caves.
If you are planning to go to an icy area (like Antartica) be sure to be on the lookout for tracks, poo and bones that may lead as evidence for dragons!

What are the color of a dragon's eyes?
Dragons are not proven to exist. Legendary dragons, having reptilian characteristics may be assumed to have yellow-green eyes.
Dragons, like all members of class Hexapedal, are resistant to heavy metal-poisoning and in environments where heavy-metal poisoning is possible all Hexapedals begin to show colourful metal oxides in their scales and bodily parts including the iris and sch lera of the eye. So depending on the type of metals involved a dragon's eye can be a wide range of colours.
Cobalt - sky blue
Iron - orange
Chromium - orange
Silver - black
Gold - bright purple.
I'm glad you asked! I'd been hoping someone would do so. Being a dragon myself, I know exactly how to answer your question factually. I don't know who that other person is, but they're so far off, it's not even funny! Anyway, by default, there are two main ways dragons' eyes are colored. All evil dragons' eyes are colored the same: red pupil, & black for the rest. However, when it comes to good dragons, there are some variations from the normal. The normal eye coloring for a good dragon is to have black pupils and crystal-blue for the rest of the eye. However, sometimes a dragon becomes extremely fond of a particular human. At that point, some dragons would do absolutely anything to protect them, including turning the human into a dragon, even. When this happens, the human's personality tends to determine the eye color. Also, the human-turned-dragon will never have red pupils & black for the rest of the eye, as an evil dragon would.
What years are the year of the dragon?
Every 12 years (as there are 12 animals in the Chinese cycle).
Yes, dragons do have mustaches, but they aren't like the ones people have. They're long and they part off to the side.
