Yikes, you’d have a lot worse than sharks to worry about with those things around.

These guys would qualify as dragons.... Whether there were people around to see them or not, there were certainly bones and skulls to be found that would suggest that such creatures as dragons indeed did exist. People that found them would not necessarily assume that bones came from ~extinct~ species, but naturally might presume that living examples must exist somewhere.

"One hundred and fifty million years ago, Svalbard was not so near the North Pole, there was no ice cap and the climate was much warmer than it is today." The norm. through most of Earth's history, is no ice cap and there were apparently dinosaurs living in the arctic and antarctic regions, too, for at least part of the year.

FWIW, in the last few weeks, or so, somebody posted a thread about a carcass of a creature not unlike this critter that washed up on Sakhalin Island (near the Arctic Circle). The creature was in an advanced state of decay, but the croc type jaws with tons of teeth and a length of about 30’ (if I remember correctly). There were plenty of pictures...

"One hundred and fifty million years ago, Svalbard was not so near the North Pole, there was no ice cap and the climate was much warmer than it is today." So, remind us again how "global warming" is going to destroy the planet?
