(Pogona vitticeps)
Bearded dragons are fairly large lizards and can grow up to 24 inches long (including their tails). The colour of this species varies from soft tan to a golden or even orangey-brown, which helps them to camouflage in desert habitats. They have a rough looking beard under the chin, which they can puff out and change colour in order to communicate with other bearded dragons and animals that may be seen as a threat.
Sub-tropical woodlands, savannahs, deserts and grasslands in central Australia.
Bearded dragons are opportunistic omnivores. They will take whatever is available to them including leaves, insects, spiders and sometimes even small mammals.
Not evaluated.
As well as using their beard to communicate, bearded dragons also use other gestures such as arm waving and head bobbing. Arm waving is thought to be a way for bearded dragons to recognise others from the same species and is also seen as a submissive behaviour. Head bobbing is aggressive and usually done with a puffed up, darkly coloured beard!
In this species, both males and females have beards. Both sexes display the same behaviours when using their beards to communicate.
