I agree with the premise that dragon legends are based on the dinosauria. But you don’t have to have humans and dinosaurs existing at the same time to get there.
People who hunted and raised animals certainly knew basic animal anatomy. If they found skeletons in the ground they would be able to reconstruct them to some degree.

It's tough for a HUMAN to draw a dinosaur if they did NOT exist at the same time. All over the world, HUMANS have drawn dinosaurs that resemble dinosaurs. It is impossible to draw dinosaurs if they didn't coexist. WHY are you so resistant to common sense?
“People who hunted and raised animals certainly knew basic animal anatomy. If they found skeletons in the ground they would be able to reconstruct them to some degree.”
LOL!
No, the HUMANS that drew the dinosaurs weren't guessing. The odds that humans could draw dinosaurs all over the world are astronomical. You simply can't have a HUMAN in the U.S. draw the same kind of dinosaur than one did in China. It's simply not feasible. Humans and dinosaurs coexisted and that is WHY the drawings drawn by early humans are evidence.
Yes, the evidence disagrees with evolutionists. You simply can't have humans drawing images of dinosaurs that we can readily identify today if humans and dinosaurs did not coexist. These humans drew what they saw around them. It's really that simple.
Dragons or Dinosaurs: Creation or Evolution (2010)
Mythological representations of dragons appear in cultures worldwide, often resembling dinosaur species identified through their fossilized remains. Could this mean dragon legends are rooted in reality? This documentary seeks to find out. Interviews with researchers indicate that the existence of dinosaurs might actually help support the biblical story of creation and explain other mysteries of our cosmic origins.

Here’s a book on it:
Are dragon stories the result of overactive imaginations or reality?
Most people believe that dragons are the stuff of fantasy. But, dragon legends can be found around the world—amazingly similar, compelling, and difficult to simply dismiss as baseless tales or mere lore. This fascinating new book traces the evidence for these creatures throughout Europe, China, the USA, South America, Greece, the United Kingdom, Babylon, and elsewhere. Whether battling saints or terrorizing Aztec Indians and medieval maidens, these creatures provide a fascinating link to man’s true history, and a shadowy mystery—lingering just beyond the edges of our understanding. This high-quality, full-color book includes creative doors, panels, and booklets throughout. Appeals to nearly all ages.

Why speculate or argue with facts?
You can see for yourself that HUMANS drew what they saw around them. They coexisted with dinosaurs.
