Who says dragons are reptiles? Anything that breathes fire ought to be warm-blooded.

I'm not saying it can't be warm-blooded. Birds are warm-blooded, as were some of the dinosaurs. That long and unterminated cord looks wrong. We only have evidence for one development of placentalism, the one that happened in us hairy mammals. Not even marsupials (opossums, kangaroos) or monotremes (platypi and echidnas) have umbilical cords like that.
