		PaulHoule on Sept 1, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: There is only one amphibian emoji My strongly held opinion is that dragons are dinosaurs and like dinosaurs and birds are in the group Archosauria so I'd be inclined to lump dragons in with birds. This explains why you never see dragons because you never see dragons for the same reason you never see dinosaurs.

AFAIK, ancient people finding and interpreting dinosaur fossils is one theory about the origin of dragon myths, so yes.

One look at a pachycephalosaurus skull nearly had me convinced dragons were real and dinosaurs were the myth.
