why would they always paint George killing a lame short squirmy necklet dragon with a tiny alligator mouth if it were purely make believe?https://twitter.com/bullionsaver/status/1051665349664358400 …

Classical European depictions of dragon fighting were always the kind of sad-ass degenerated dragon you would expect after many centuries of the pre-deluge super-fauna big bois dying off from environmental changes, hunting, and food competitionpic.twitter.com/EwNtSIGyQK
The depictions of larger dragons are generally from the wet parts of China and SE Asia, which was in large areas covered in tropical forests and swamps prior to drainage and mass agriculture - endless hectares of rice patties aren't a natural phenomenon
If the goal of the Euro depictions was merely to weave a fantasy story or to lift up a fabled knight, they'd have bigger monsters, not some 5 foot bitch lizard that could be dispatched by a couple experienced boar spearmen.
Ancient dragons also known in mid-east, remember that Iraq and Iran both had massive wetlands prior to agricultural drainage, Iraq's wetlands are recovering somewhat post-coalition, there are still crocodiles in Iran marshes. Egypt of course filled with delta swamps, Nile crocs
I am not saying crocs are descendants of dragons, I'm saying they are like the cock roaches of dragons, the most robustly able to continue propagating in spite of hunting by mankind, mostly aquatic and therefore not as threatening as a more land-based creature.
Stephen Oppenheimer suggested that rising sea levels turned dry land swampy and dragon myths are memories of crocodile incursions in SE Asia.
