What's the Difference Between Dinosaurs and Dragons? Unlike dragons, dinosaurs existed up to 65 million years ago when they all went extinct during the end of the Cretaceous period in history. Dragons are imaginary creatures that were written about (literature and historical texts) and vary in form and size across various cultures in Europe, Middle-East, and China.. Understanding this timeline makes it clear why dragons dominated for so long, and why it matters to keep building awareness of the real story now. Dragons made better stories. Dragons were dramatic, terrifying, and perfect for oral storytelling. Dinosaurs, in contrast, were just bones locked in stone, harder to weave into gripping tales.
