You're saying that there's no version of dragons that can fit every story people tell about what dragons have done, Anom. I agree - but I would point out that the same is true of cats and dogs...which...I hope, you don't believe are a violation of physics.
The flying, the fire breathing, these aren't the problems with dragon stories. The problems with dragon stories is how they tend to attack bad kings, lol...like they would know which ones the bad kings are, or would care if they did. The ideological content of dragon stories is ridiculous, the biological content or possibility, not so much.
All of this, ofc, a sideline. Mammoths are not fantasy creatures. They're the species that no north american landscape could be called natural™ without. We get ecology in the here and now wrong because it's missing a piece that the ecosystem doesn't even realize is missing yet.
