Many readily accept that 'dragons' died out some 60 million years ago. It is believed that ancient man saw dinosaur fossils and using the partial evidence of their eyes, added these creatures to legend and folklore - probably mixing in tales of crocodiles seen and experienced.
You cannot gainsay this necessarily when it is explained that dragon legends exist on every continent and across almost all cultures.
The first point is that crocs are in fact living dinosaurs along with Komodo dragons - one of which I met personally last week in Lisbon zoo.
The coelocanth fish was extinct for '300 million years' - that it is until it turned up from the depths of the oceans in the 1930s and has been caught in nets regularly since that time.
Everything here mentioned is a fact. If you were to look at the 200 reports in British history of dragons and also flying creatures in the mould of pterodactyls, if you were to take off the evolution-must-be-true glasses that so many wear, might you not conclude that not all these reports are mere imagination?
Some are remarkably detailed. In 1614 there is a report from St Leonard's Forest in Sussex near a village called Dragon's Green. Other reports come from Bures, Saffron Walden, Henham in Essex, Penllin Glamorgan to name but a few.
As we know that most dinosaurs did die out, do we not have some fairly reliable evidence here that the last throes of dinosaurs should be measured in hundreds of years and not millions?
