Sitting on a rock by our watering hole was a decent sized lizard called a eastern water dragon. This lizard can grow up to 20 cm long And it's tail can be 2.5 times longer than it's body length. The tail is used to help swimming and also helps it to escape danger. This lizard is very shy and usually runs away from anything bigger than itself. When these lizard sense danger they often run from the prey or drop from a branch into the water. The water dragon mostly eats smaller bugs and insects. The lizards young are called hatchlings And usually produce from 6-18 eggs at a time. I thought this lizard was cool and interesting and hope to see one again.
