I realise that this is a "different universe" from ours, but this might give some inspiration:

Worth looking through the gallery.

There are also historic links between Dragons and Elephants, as well as Panthers in the bestiaries (Many pictures are from 11th-12th Centuries, but the texts go back to Roman times or earlier)

This is also worth a look:

Anthro, but very pretty chromatic dragons.
Also awsome ponies!

Well, Earth has had enough strange dinosaurs and weird artistic depictions of them that I'm sure if someone added wings to some of the various depictions you could come close to Fel's descriptions.
As an example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/17276531 has pair of drawings of Velociraptors that are worth a look.

(just sayin')
