Pogona, or the Bearded Dragon, is an Australian reptile species. This lizard is a popular pet due to its placid temperament, diminutive size, and visually appealing appearance. The lizard's common moniker, "bearded dragon," is derived from the beard-like projections of spiky skin that it can raise beneath its chin when it feels threatened or wants to assert its dominance. Unique is the appearance of a grizzled dragon. Their bodies are comparatively flat, and their epidermis is rough and scaly. They can have a wide variety of colors, from muted greys and browns to vibrant oranges and yellows, depending on the species and region. They have a triangular cranium and a row of spikes on their sides and back. These reptiles are typically terrestrial and diurnal, which means they are active during the day. Due to their sturdy limbs and pointed claws, they are able to ascend and dig. Bearded Dragons are omnivores, meaning they consume insects, fruits, vegetables, and even small animals. Bearded Dragons are rare reptiles that require special care as companions. In addition to proper lighting and nutrition, they require a large container with a temperature gradient that enables them to maintain a constant body temperature. If handled with care at a young age, they can become accustomed to humans and are widely believed to be docile.
