Hey, I've been digging into how some myths about dragons might be based on real ancient creatures. Do you think those stories could be hiding some science?

That’s a reasonable hypothesis. Some fossil evidence does suggest large reptiles existed, but the fire‑breathing part probably jumps more into the supernatural. It would be interesting to see if any chemical residues or bone structure hint at real heat‑generation, though.

Sounds like a good plan. We can start by cataloguing the large reptile fossils, check for heat‑related chemical signatures, and then compare that data to the mythic descriptions. Just remember: the fire‑breathing part is probably symbolic, not a literal science clue.
