Answer:
In my opinion, dragons used to be real but then they evolved into the animals we know right now.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have animals that are similar to dragons for example, the Gliding Lizard. The gliding lizard has "wings" that helps them glide through trees or from trees. The komodo dragon is the largest lizard. All these species could have been related to dragons at some point in time. (I'm a huge fan of dragons too :> )
