Are dragons mythical creatures or cryptids?

[dave362]

Sometimes there are cases when myths and legends turned out to be true. Could this be true for dragons? Could there actually have been fire-breathing reptiles at one point on Earth?

I just find it hard to believe that dragons are real or were ever real. I think they are 100% fantasy. But, I do think they were inspired by some real-life creatures.

I don't think there was any animal that breathed fire and could fly. However, I believe human beings created the myth of dragons based on animals (or birds) like Pterodactyl, Pteranodon and Quetzalcoatlus from the Jurassic era.
