In Greek mythology, what is the name of a creature with lion's body and eagle's head and wings?

queenhuniedeb, There has been so many animals, bird and fish that are extinct now because people just didn't and don't care. Even today in the year 2019 whales and other types of animals, birds and fish are going into the extinct era(s). If people don't start caring more about these things they won't be here for our young children and grandchildren come people and big companies wake up otherwise it just won't be animals, birds and fish that all will be going extinct.... 🙁

Player #1234791, I wouldn't want to see animals like the dinosaurs brought back to life though, imagine that one!

Harry Potter rode a hippogryph, half eagle, half horse.

Jeorne, Not astrological, paleontonical, if that's a word. People traveling through deserts would find bones and put them together in their imaginations.

VisionaryKettle2, There are unfortunately still too many greedy people in this world who care only about having plenty of money.

There's a Griffin on the Welsh flag.

Player #45505475 - CORRECTION: The DRAGON is the mascot of Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, hence the "Drexel Dragon." Their dragon's nickname is "Mario." The GRIFFIN is the mascot of Gwynedd Mercy University, Gwynedd Valley, PA, hence the "Gwynedd Griffin" whose nickname is "Merv." I know this because I am a graduate if Gwynedd Mercy University & my husband is a graduate Drexel University.

The griffin is the mascot of Drexel university in Philadelphia, PA.

I often suspect these fabled beasts are really created from astrological combinations.
