If mythical animals were still alive in our world, it would profoundly change nearly every aspect of life — from science and culture to economy and even spirituality. Here's a look at how things might be different:

1. Science and Discovery

• Zoology and biology would be revolutionized. Creatures like dragons, unicorns, or phoenixes would force scientists to rewrite the rules of evolution, anatomy, and genetics.

• New disciplines might emerge, like mythozoology or arcane biology, blending science with what was once considered legend.

2. Culture and Belief Systems

• Many mythical animals are tied to religion or folklore (e.g., Garuda in Hinduism, the Thunderbird in Native American lore). Their existence could validate spiritual beliefs and deeply reshape global religions.

• Art, literature, and film would reflect a world where these creatures are real, perhaps even common.

3. Economy and Livelihoods

• A black market or legal trade for items like phoenix feathers, unicorn horns, or dragon scales could emerge — highly regulated or dangerously exploited.

• New industries could form: dragon-riding tourism, griffin-based transportation, or centaur language interpretation.

4. Daily Life and Security

• Dragons flying in the sky would require new air traffic control laws — not to mention anti-fire measures!

• Governments would invest in mythical creature protection agencies or specialized military divisions to handle threats or preserve endangered species.

• Insurance policies might start covering "damage caused by mythical beasts."

5. Environmental Balance

• Mythical creatures could alter ecosystems. A kraken in the sea might make maritime travel more dangerous, while tree-dwelling fairies might be guardians of forests, aiding conservation.
