Who is a Data Scientist? A Dragon a Pegasus or a Unicorn?

 

Unicorns, Pegasus, or dragons are mythical creatures that are created by combining the strong attributes of different animals. In Sri Lankan culture, we can see different dragons in temples. It is believed that these dragons are to protect various people and places. 

These dragons have seven parts from different people, as expressed in the following poem. 

As per the song, the dragon is a combination of

·       trunk of an elephant

·       legs of a lion

·       ears of a pig

·       teeth of a crocodile

·       eyes of a monkey

·       body of a fish

·       wings of a bird

The combination of these most strengthened parts will make the dragon a strong animal to achieve his required tasks.
