Field Notes

Description:

One of several similar species of bearded dragon lizards. Grey and softly spiked, dark and light mottled markings all over, colour changes slightly depending on weather and surroundings. A small 'frill' can be raised around its neck and the mouth opened in defence if threatened. Total length is around 55cm.

Habitat:

The Eastern Bearded Dragon is found as its name suggests along the eastern regions of Australia through several states.

Notes:

The lizard photographed is a baby, mum was photographed earlier in the season.
