Can Dragons Reproduce?

-----------------------------------------------------MAIN QUEST SPOILERS----------------------------------------------------------------


We know the Dragons were just being brought back to life by Alduin, and when a Dragonborn kills a Dragon, the Dragon is dead forever. This raises the question... Can the Dragons reproduce? If not, then we're not gonna be fighting Dragons is TES: VIII. They will have all died.

Dragon do not reproduce.

Then they are an unrenewable resource. Dang. I hope we don't run out of Dragons to kill.

There's nothing to say more can't be made, AFAIK, just that the ones that exist now don't get it on to make little dragonlings. Don't forget too that unless a dragonborn takes its soul, the dragon can be resurrected (also consider that we don't know the extent to the dragonborn's soul-svcking ability; there could be much more to it than that).

At one point in the evolution of TES lore, http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Dragonling#Dragonling.

EDIT: Read the post below, theory debunked.

Nope. The Daggerfall manual specifically says that despite being called Dragonlings they aren't actually related to dragons.

And this point is reinforced in skyrim, with statements that any such creatures in Daggerfall were just overgrown lizards.
