Are dragons just folklore or are they based on extinct/existing animals?

There's no evidence that dragons existed at any time. They are folklore.

They are certainly based on existing animals, such as snakes and lizards. Most creatures of folklores have similar features to a real animal, but make it HUGE, and give it SUPERPOWERS, or combine them with other animals etc.

They are based on almost extinct animals some of which are still alive like Nessie.
