I don’t see a dinosaur. I see a dragon, which is a mythical creature with a long history in Eurasian folklore. So, the better question is, why do dragons look so much like dinosaurs.

Well, when you look at a dragon's bones (er, fossilized dinosaur bones in the rocks) you SEE EXACTLY what Leonardo drew. Twisted long back, legs, head, eye and "nose" sockets - everything fits what the people saw everyday as they slaughtered and cooked cows and pigs and sheep for food.
