		It was recognised as a sirrush (roughly meaning dragon).The Babylonians did not have the ability to reconstruct fossil remains so it is more likely they were drawing a living animal that they had seen.
		The depictions of the sirrush were always the same and never varied which is further indication that they were based on a real creature.scientists have no way to explain this creature, they say if not for the front legs being feline such an animal could have existed.

	Sirrush :: d20srd.org
		A sirrush’s natural weapons are treated as epic for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
		Every 1d4 rounds, a sirrush can loose a sonic attack of such volume that it stuns all creatures in a 60-foot spread for 1d4 rounds if they fail a Fortitude saving throw (DC 47, or DC 51 for a three-headed sirrush).
		A sirrush dies when beheaded; a three-headed sirrush goes on fighting until all its heads are lost (the only penalty it incurs is one or two fewer bite attacks when it makes a full attack).

		The sirrush, he said, was more like a saurian than any other animal.

	The Cryptid Zoo: Sirrush in Cryptozoology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-18)
		One reason why some cryptozoologists think the sirrush could be a real animal is because of certain details of the statues.
		The sirrush, which ought to be a mythical animal, stays the same over a long time period.
		Some cryptozoologists think that the sirrush is identical to the mokele-mbembe, while others dispute that idea because the mokele-mbembe has rounded contours and puffy dimensions, like any sauropod dinosaur, while artistic depictions of the sirrush show a long, lean creature, like a lizard stretched into the shape of a starving cow.

		The sacred animal of Marduk, Babylon's dragon was know as the sirrush, or mushussu, and Koldewey was far from convinced that it was nothing more than a fabulous creature of legend.
		Although Babylonian depicttions of all other fabulous beasts had changed dramatically over the centuries, those of the sirrush had always remained the same, like those of the real animals.
		In view of the thought-provoking link between the sirrush and the Congo's mysterious water beast, some zoologists have proposed that it could have been a living mokele-mbembe, captured in Central Africa, possibly while still a juvenile, and transported alive back to Babylon.

	Dragon of the Ishtar Gate - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums
		In the late 1930s, a science writer by the name of Willie Ley began research the Sirrush in Babylonian art history, and found that not only does it appear in other works, but was actually a common feature of art spanning thousands of years.
		With the rumours of dinosaur-like creatures stalking the dark corners of Africa, Ley believed that it was possible the Babylonians had not only heard of such a creature, but have seen one -- or even had one living in captivity within their city walls, behind the Ishtar Gate.
		The Sirrush might be another wacka do creature like the platypus who looks like it was sitch to gather from a bunch of animal parts.

		Once the Sirrush is summoned, the caster must have a contest of wills to control it, pitting her stress die + Int + Rego + Animal against the combined Magic Resistance of all Sirrush the caster has summoned, regardless of their locations.
		Thus, if the caster already has one Sirrush under her control, the two Sirrush resist with stress die + 50 -- the combined Magic Might of the two (2 * 25 = 50).
		The only way to reduce the number of Sirrush that resist control is to kill one or more of the caster's summoned Sirrush.

		Stunning Roar (Ex): Every 1d4 rounds, a sirrush can loose a sonic attack of such volume that it stuns all creatures in a 60-foot spread for 1d4 rounds if they fail a Fortitude saving throw (DC 47, or DC 51 for a three-headed sirrush).
		Headloss Resistance (Ex): A sirrush's thick bony plate protects its neck like a shield and provides resistance from effects that could normally behead it, such as a vorpal weapon.
		On a failed save, the sirrush's head leaves its shoulders normally, but on a successful save, the sirrush is unaffected by the beheading.

	CHAPTER THREE
		Their companions, the dragons or " sirrush," are equally well done, but they are not so appealing because they represent no known animal.
		The " sirrush " is really a compromise between a serpent, a lynx, and an eagle: the head, body, and tail are those of a scaly snake, the forelegs are those of a lynx, and the hind legs, which end in talons, might be those of any large bird of prey.
		He was therefore placed in the animal's den, presumably in the belief that he would never emerge from it; but he took with him a potent pill, composed chiefly of hair and bitumen, which he persuaded the dragon to swallow.

		The hedge wizard summoned the Sirrush and instructed it to guard the lab, but he was not strong enough to control it, so the Sirrush would not let him into the lab.

		Babylonians called this creature a sirrush, a servant of the pagan god Marduk.
		Since the other two animals on the gate represented real animals, there is no reason to believe that the sirrush was not real as well, especially since they all appear side by side.
		No doubt many animals have become extinct down through history, and probably more often than not with no one to record their existence (and in a general age of illiteracy in ancient times, to make matters worse).

	Cryptozoology - Crystalinks
		Exotic Zoology (which combined some of Ley's older writings with new ones) is of some interest to cryptozoology, as he discusses the Yeti and sea serpents, as well as reports of relict dinosaurs.
		The book's first section ("Myth?") entertains the possibility that some legendary creatures (like the sirrush, the unicorn or the cyclops) might be based on actual animals (or misinterpretation of animals and/or their remains).
		Heuvelmans argued that cryptozoology should be undertaken with scientific rigor, but also with an open-minded, interdisciplinary approach.

		Last winter, says Ley, a large unknown animal tried to climb a sea wall in Florida, leaving great moha-moha like tracks in the sand.
		Ley tells of the Ishtar Gate in the ruins of Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, which is decorated with portraits of the sirrush, a scaly, tall-walking reptile with clawed hind feet like a bird.
		The drawing is singularly detailed, and like nothing known to modern man until he dug up fossil dinosaurs.
