Dragons Plausible?
I've been thinking about something recently. Dragons show up in the mythology of several different cultures (Norse, Chinese, English, etc.) dating back several hundreds of years ago. Some of these cultures being so immensely different and separated but still coming up with the same creature seems like a huge coincidence, so the question is... Is it possible that dragons did exist some time long ago (perhaps before we had any system of writing or maybe even during the time of the dinosaurs)?
What do you guys think? Please comment and share your thoughts.

Think about it, pulling giant serrated teeth out of the ground as you are plowing your field, or stumbling on a claw. It would certainly put the fear of something into a peasant farmer. As time goes on oral tradition changes stores. So from a single tooth a story about an entire skeleton could be woven in time.
