Dragons in the Park

The Eastern Bearded Dragon seen here was sunning itself when it was disturbed. When threatened it inflates its throat and belly and displays a beard. If further provoked it opens its mouth. Feeding on small animals and insects it will also eat fruits, berries, grass and flowers. Eastern bearded dragons are found generally in dry forests throughout mainly eastern Australia including here as you can see at the Earthcare Park.
