Re: Mythological beasts inspired by now known animals?

Some mythological beasts were inspired by fossil bones of dinosaurs. The idea if a Griffin is at least partially to have come from skulls and skeletons of the protoceratopsins whose skeletons were quite common in a part of the Mediterranean area.
