I dont think that these animals are mythical or unreal creatures, but the Jewish interpretations of scripture must be considered. Plus they are way cool.
One thing you can be sure on is that , particularly when looking at scripture, there will be a number of opinions on what that scripture means to the Jewish faith. The traditional way of studing torah and talmud is to take a passage, and debate on what that passage means. The
debates become rather heated sometimes.
