A somewhat mythical creature that was
said to be slayed by european knights in medieval times, and were regarded as a symbol of good
luck to the
Chinese.
I just think they are really awesome.
Note: The below is in my Christian Creationist view, dont read this if you Are offended with my viewpoints. I am bombarded with evolutionist viewpoints on the internet each
day, allow me to have my viewpoints, if you'
d be so kind:
The Bible was known to mention dragons. In fact the old testament mentions the word dragon 21 times, take note of the mentioning specifically in the book of Job.
Take note that Job is the oldest book in the Bible:
Job 40:19 And of the leviathan, the greatest of the
ocean animals, God
said that
even the leviathan could not "stand before me" Job 41:34,10
(The leviathan, also called a dragon, was noted as one of the greatest beasts, along with the behemoth, in the Old testement.)
Job was more than likely mentioning of the Dinosaurs that were living in his
time.
Or, more specifically Job was probably mentioning a
Whale (Hebrews translates this is "tanniynim"
literally translated as Dragon, but this cant be as Job 41:1-34 mentions the Leviathan as a firebreather, (which is not surprising, as there is a beetle
today which has an explosive-causing mechanism.)
The flame-breathing aspect of the above was probably a plesiosaur.
