Eastern bearded dragon
Species of lizard / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1][2][3] It is one of a group of species known commonly as bearded dragons. Other common names for this species include Jew lizard[1] 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.[4]
