Dragons may look reptillian, but they're more related to mammals, since they have warm blood.

I so much reading up on things first.

Well though the use of "cold blooded" and "warm blooded" are still used as one side or the other terms, work is being done that show some animals fit into both at times.

For example, most of you would have a hard time cooling off without an AC. And warming up without some type of heat source. Does that make us cold blooded? No, it just means we need to use things to keep our body temp. to a normal level.

So dragons may fit into that type of category. They may sun themselfs at times to warm up but they may be able to keep their bodies warm in cold weather, with only a little help.
