The Chinese Calendar is strange

The Chinese calendar presents 12 images of animals. Each animal roughly corresponds to a month of the year. 12 animals and 12 months. That is not strange. 11 of the 12 are animals in the calendar exist today, they are real. One does not, which is the dragon. What is strange is that we are told the dragon was not a real animal but the others all are. Deductive reasoning implies the dragon is, or was, a real animal as well. Likewise from other sources we see the dragon is not a typical dinosaur but more like a dragon from the movies. One that had wings and breathes fire. We do not see evidence in fossils of these creatures, thus far. We do not know enough about all dinosaur skull fossils to rule out that some did breathe out or snort some form of fire. The Bible does mention them as real animals. Logic thus implies the Bible is truthful in this aspect, and likewise in many, many others.
