I think it was C.S. Lewis who said that scientists called dinosaurs "dinosaurs" because they were too embarrassed to admit that they were dragons.
da Vinci could easily have seen a skeleton, since lost. Lots of Renaissance folks collected "curiosities".

“da Vinci could easily have seen a skeleton, since lost.”
I have always assumed that was how dragons entered the scene. People seeing exposed fossils.
