Description
A very easy to get along with Water Dragon captured in the Roma Street Parklands, Brisbane Queensland.
Australian water dragons have long powerful limbs and claws for swimming and climbing, and have a prominent nuchal and vertebral crest. (A nuchal crest is a central row of enlarged spikes at the base of the head. These spikes continue down the spine, getting smaller as they reach the base of the tail.) [1]
Including their tails, which comprise about two-thirds of their total length, adult females grow to about 2 feet (60 centimetres) long, and adult males can grow slightly longer than 3 feet (one metre). Males show bolder coloration, with red chests and larger heads than females. [2][3] Color is less distinct in juveniles.[1]
It's good to get back to nature shots.
