Pogona barbata |
The Eastern Bearded Dragon (Pogona barbata) is a lizard found in wooded parts of eastern Australia, except for the regions of Cape York. It is a large species of variable colour distinguished from its relative, the Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps), by its less robust body and the row of spines along the lateral edge of the body, which continues over the forearm (Cogger, 1992). It tends to be more cryptic in its behavior than the Central Bearded Dragon and performs its bearded display more often. It has an adult snout-vent length of about 25 cm.
