Taken at the Reptile Park, Ti Point, near Leigh
Eastern Water Dragon Physignathus lesueurii Coming from the Eastern side of Australia this agamid lizard is semi-aquatic and will bask on branches that overhang rivers. If threatened it will drop into the water and may stay under for a while. It will eat some vegetable matter but in the main its diet is made up of insects, frogs and other small vertebrates. Clutches, usually two per season, of up to ten soft-shelled eggs are buried in the ground and left to hatch. Under ideal conditions it takes three to four years for the young to reach sexual maturity. Males grow to about 80 cms long and in the breeding season some display a reddish flush to throat and chest.
Thanks for looking. |

Hi Ralph,
Still a very interesting. A catch that is quite hard to achieve. Good and description provided by you.
Have a pleasant weekend,
Adrian
Hi Ralph
Nice shot of the dragons but I feel that the image lacks impact. Have added a workshop to show what I mean, only my opinion, hope you don't mind.
Regards Derek
