Western Bearded Dragon
Pogona minor
The Western Bearded Dragon is a medium-sized agamid lizard native to arid and semi-arid regions of Western Australia. Easily recognized by its spiny 'beard' that puffs out when threatened, this species exhibits a range of earthy colors that help it blend into its dry surrounding…
Did you know?
- Despite their fierce appearance when displaying their beard, Western Bearded Dragons are generally calm and gentle when handled by humans.
- Western Bearded Dragons can communicate through body language, such as arm waving and head bobbing. They can change their body color to help regulate their temperature and for camouflage. Their beard, which darkens and expands when threatened, is used both for defense and to assert dominance.
