Tbh, this would not surprise me. Lol

Me neither, Arthur is a blind sweetheart

Originally called a cameleopard. Camel - leopard. I mean, the leopard makes a kind of sense....

Or a unicorn.🙊🙈

i- you have officially crushed my dreams 😃

I want a superhero called Slightly Above Average Man.

Wait, you're telling me dragon and unicorns aren't real?

*Rhino's* also, expand on the 'fire breathing dragons' malarkey will you - do you mean Spitting Cobras or Komodo Dragons ? Half arsed, badly spelled answers like yours do nothing to help, understand or enlighten the discussion.

I think a lizard that spits acid and burns is probably just as cool as a fire-breathing dragon though.

The unicorn was in fact an Arabian Oryx seen from a great distance in profile. It had "the legs of a deer, the tail of a lion and the head and body of a horse." The Brits kept it's image as a symbol of purity (Arabian Oryxs are white).

Ouch, there go a lot of myths a burn'n up.

Also narwhal tusks were sold with the lie it was from a unicorn

Show me a lizard that spits acid.

I refuse to believe dragons weren't real. In fact I think they still do.

Flew with it.

I mean, why not? It's just as plausible.

If Baba Yaga likes you, she'll grant you favours.

Loki, a dragon?

Also migraines sometimes makes people see "auras". You see someone that seems to be shining with a supernatural light and suddenly you're "punished" with extreme pain for "laying your mortal eyes upon divinity".

‘Faraway man’ 😂

Mountain lions scream like a woman when in heat. It is terrifying if you don't know what it is.

Or Oarfish

Prophets and such could have been people with awful eyesight seeing some things blend a little

Was at the dinosaur exhibit once at a museum in the city and they had recently added a pterodactyl to the collection. I was looking up at it and thinking to myself that I’d probably hide if I saw something that big coming towards me, when a woman next to me says “Imagine that thing flying over you and taking a dump..” I actually imagined that for a couple of seconds and then cracked up laughing. I think I said you’d probably want to make sure you could swim..
