New species in Loch Ness

Skeptics say the Loch Ness Monster can't be a plesiosaur just because they don't think they had an echolocation ability, which they say would be quite necessary for it in Loch Ness. Thus it could be a newly evolved species of plesiosaur that can use echolocation, or maybe some other system of finding prey we don't yet know about.

There's also the possibility it might be a freshwater dwelling dragon that uses echolocation. If it is a dragon, I have picked out a name for it, Draco nessioides, or in the remote possibility it's a subspecies of the Common European Dragon, then Draco draco nessioides.

Evolution of the phoenix

Chinese dragons are supposed to go through several stages of development including a phoenix stage. Maybe phoenixes as we know them, are actually descended from dragons, but stay in the phoenix stage all their lives. I have made up a scientific name for them, Dreco phoenixensis. The name of their genus, Dreco, comes from the Latin Draco=dragon, and roughly represents them as being mutated dragons.

Baby phoenixes rising from the flame and being reborn,could be explained maybe by that the phoenix eggs will only hatch, if put in flames, so the parents would probably die, their purpose in life gone.

This behaviour probably made it be assosiated with the old pagan gods and goddesses of death and rebirth and eventually the Christian resurrection.
