baywax said:I would suggest, as has been suggested, that the myth of the dragon extends from some discoveries in the distant past of large lizards or possibly remnant sea creatures that could have survived the bolide incident that scathed the Earth 65 million years ago and reportedly "wiped out the dinosaurs". Its conceivable that some survived, especially in the oceans, and lived and reproduced up until such a time that humans had evolved to make records of these anomalies.
Survived a thousand years after the incident, maybe. A million years after the fossil record -- almost surely not. Ten million? No way.
