Is Whales the only country with a mythical creature as it’s symbol?

Did they discover any burn marks around the mouth area?

A ball of undigested bones was determined to be the remains of sacrificed virgins, and one bravelove struck fool.

Years ago I wondered if the legend of a “Fire Breathing Dragon” could have been sparked by Knights or other travelers camping near a swamp at night and their fire. The fire would have created thermal updrafts, could have pulled swamp gas in and ignited the gas then flashing back to the origin of the swamp. This would have been stunning site to witness by those around the fire. And possibly made a hell of a roar.

I don't know why scientists are always surprised to find prehistoric fossils in areas they've never looked. The Cretaceous era (145 - 60 millions years ago) and the Jurassic era just after it. At the time, the Earth land masses were still shifting on its tectonic plates and of course still had comic bodies (meteors & asteroids) crashing into our rock.

Not being a paleontologist and haven't stayed at a Hilton hotel, I'm just not sure paleontology is an exact science.

That would be a dead giveaway.

So they found dragon bones and because they don’t believe in dragons, they say they are dinosaur bones?

Of course it is. Science is a method, not a body of knowledge (and there are some who pretend otherwise, they’re actually politicians), and the only way to find out stuff of this kind is to dig for it. That’s what sets the scientific method apart from ex cathedra statements.

They had the same type of reaction when they found Santa Claus’ skeleton.

People would believe dragons existed should the existence of dragons be proven.

Whales are cetaceans. Wales is a country. A name derived of the latin Waleas (foreigners). The Welsh called their country Cymru. Pronounced KUM REE not Sim roo. It means friends.

No, no. Whales is not only one in the UK.

Scotland claims they have mythical creatures (civilized people who can speak English) as a large portion of their population. 8<)
