Pogona
''Pogona'' is a genus of reptiles containing six lizard species which are often known by the common name bearded dragons. The name "bearded dragon" refers to the underside of the throat (or "beard") of the lizard, which can turn black and gain weight for a number of reasons, most often as a result of stress, or if they feel threatened. They are a semi-arboreal species, spending significant amounts of time on branches, in bushes, and near human habitation. ''Pogona'' species bask on rocks and exposed branches in the mornings and afternoons. Their diet consists primarily of insects, vegetation, and occasionally small rodents. They are found throughout much of Australia and inhabit a wide range of environments, such as deserts, shrublands and ''Eucalyptus'' woodlands. Description The genus ''Pogona'' is in the subfamily Amphibolurinae of the lizard family Agamidae. Bearded dragons are characterized by their broad, triangular heads, flattened bodies, and rows and clusters of spi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pogona Vitticeps
The central bearded dragon (''Pogona vitticeps''), also known as the inland bearded dragon, is a species of Agamidae, agamid lizard found in a wide range of arid to semiarid regions of eastern and central Australia. Taxonomy ''Pogona vitticeps'' was first species description, described by German zoologist Ernst Ahl in 1926, who placed it in the genus ''Amphibolurus''. Description Adults of this species can reach a total length of up to , with the tail accounting for more than half. Some sexual dimorphism is present: males can be distinguished from females by a wider Cloaca, cloacal opening, a wider base of the tail, a larger head and beard, and the possession of hemipenes. Males also have more pronounced femoral pores than females (these can be seen as waxy bumps on the underside of the back legs). Bearded dragons vary widely in colour, including brown, reddish-brown, red, yellow, white and orange. They are capable of undergoing moderate changes in coloration, and scales alon ...

Pogona Barbata
The eastern bearded dragon (''Pogona barbata''), also known as common bearded dragon or simply bearded lizard, is an agamid lizard found in wooded parts of Australia. It is one of a group of species known commonly as bearded dragons. Other common names for this species include Jew lizard and frilly lizard, the latter being a confusion between this and another dragon, the frill-necked lizard (''Chlamydosaurus kingii''). This species was originally described in 1829 by Georges Cuvier, who named it ''Amphibolurus barbatus''. Description ''P. barbata'' is one of the eight recognized species within the genus ''Pogona''. Adult males can grow to about from the snout to the tip of the tail, while females may reach in overall length. The head is large and triangular in shape. The throat is covered with spiny, dark grey scales which can be raised to form an impressive "beard". Several groups of even longer spiny scales are located at the back of the head, the corners of the mouth, the ext ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pogona Henrylawsoni
Rankin's dragon (''Pogona henrylawsoni'') is a species of Australian agamid lizard. It may also be called the pygmy bearded dragon (though the name is shared with other small ''Pogona'' species) and the black-soiled bearded dragon. The specific epithet, ''henrylawsoni'', is in honor of the Australian author, poet, and philosopher Henry Lawson. Range It is native to Queensland in Australia, but can be found in captivity across the world. Description ''P. henrylawsoni'' is similar to the larger central bearded dragon (''P. vitticeps''), but is usually less than 30 cm (12 in) in total length (including tail), with a shorter and more blunt snout. Common names ''P. henrylawsoni'' is also commonly called ''Lawson's dragon'', ''dumpy dragon'', ''pygmy dragon'', ''dwarf bearded dragon'', or ''black soil bearded dragon''. Taxonomy A formal description was not published for this lizard until 1985, despite being known to herpetologists. The scientific name for this species wa ...

Agamidae
Agamidae is a family (biology), family of over 300 species of iguanian lizards indigenous to Africa, Asia, Australia, and a few in Southern Europe. Many species are commonly called dragons or dragon lizards. Overview phylogenetics, Phylogenetically, they may be sister to the Iguanidae, and have a similar appearance. Agamids usually have well-developed, strong legs. Their tails cannot be shed and regenerated like those of geckos (and several other families such as skinks), though a certain amount of regeneration is observed in some. Many agamid species are capable of limited change of their colours to regulate their body temperature. In some species, males are more brightly coloured than females, and colours play a part in signaling and reproductive behaviours. Although agamids generally inhabit warm environments, ranging from hot deserts to tropical rainforests, at least one species, the mountain dragon, is found in cooler regions. They are particularly diverse in Australia. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bearded Dragon Skeleton
A beard is the hair that grows on the jaw, chin, upper lip, lower lip, cheeks, and neck of humans and some non-human animals. In humans, usually pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. Throughout the course of history, societal attitudes toward male beards have varied widely depending on factors such as prevailing cultural-religious traditions and the current era's fashion trends. Some religions (such as some sects of Islam, and Sikhism) have considered a full beard to be essential and mandate it as part of their observance. Other cultures, even while not officially mandating it, view a beard as central to a man's virility, exemplifying such virtues as wisdom, strength, sexual prowess and high social status. In cultures where facial hair is uncommon (or currently out of fashion), beards may be associated with poor hygiene or an unconventional demeanor. In countries with colder climates, beards help protect the wearer's face from the elements. Beards also provide sun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lizard
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic since it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia although some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3-meter-long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Some lineages (known as "legless lizards"), have secondarily lost their legs, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling ''Draco'' lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with bright colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals a ...
