Dragons are Real, for once ...

Sunday last week I fortunately saw a tv program at discovery channel talking 'bout dragons, the title is "Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real". It presented with total-eye-cacthing scenes of animated CGI, the flow comes in two different timeline, present and past.
Its all begin in present time in Paleontology Museum in UK,their T-Rex head fossil appeared to have carbonized in one side, this condition had interest Prof.Tanner with extreme hypothesis that the T-Rex had been encounter with dragon, and the dragon attack T-Rex with fire breath straight to its head. Luck comes to him, finally he found dead corpse of a dragon in Carpathian Mountains in Romania. With thorough examination he proudly conclude that the corpse is a dragon, it fly with wings and lungs full of hidrogen gas, it breath fire using metan gas reaction, has six limbs just like in the mythical description of the europian dragons.
The most interesting for me is that these dragons were evolving to diferent kind of species, sea dragon have long bodies and little wings that can not fly, they also mentioned forrest dragon in China that compete for food with tiger, just like old china myth tales about tiger and dragon. They conclude that Dragons have great adaption skill such as Shark and Crocodile, so it is possible for the dragons survive nowadays in high remote places like deep water and dark mountanious forest.
The most shocking is the part when they found sharp metal plate inside the dragon's heart that appeared to be the head piece of a knight's sword. It proofs that Dragons still survive in ancient history of mankind and had contact in severe way just like in the myth. The scientist also found human corpses in the Dragon's nest back at Carpathian Mountains, where the corpse of an adult dragon also had been discover behind the wall of ice. They brought those corpses back at UK Museum for publicity.
But today I found that this program was a fiction, a sci-fi documentary. The Profressor and other crew was an actor, they said in the beginning the narrator (Patrick Stewart.. yes the baldy oldman from StarTrek and X-Men) already had a disclaimer that dragons didn't exist, wich I may missed. The CGI made by the makers of "Walking with Dinosaurs" series.
Such a serious intense creativity with high convincing logical scientific explanation of the best myth creature in the world. Damn good hell of a TV program !!!
