Description
I watched a show on Animal Planet called "Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real" and it really amazed me.

THIS is a dragon from the late Cretaceous Period. These magnificent beasts were the largest creatures to ever take to the wing: big enough to rival the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex.

These dragons, proportionally, weren't able to fly. But thanks to unique bacteria in their stomach, the gas these microbes secreted was dominantly hydrogen. This gas was sent to a pair of "flight bladders" and helped to lighten the beast.

Hydrogen also played a dominant role in the fire breath of dragons. Dragons of several kinds made their territories in places rich in platinum. When hydrogen meets platinum and oxygen, it combusts.
