In this episode of the Hidden Creatures podcast, we take a look at the history and mythology of dragons, from the Continental Dragon, Wyverns, Wyrms, Basiliks, and the Chinese Dragons. From their etymology, origins, sighting stories, we look at where the story of dragons came from, and if they could be real. We also hear about the Komodo dragon, and the Fur Bearing Trout.

Hidden Creatures is written, and produced by Edward James, scripts edited by Saskia Whelsey. Music is from Pixabay.
