The Eastern water dragon inhabits the eastern coastline of Australia and grows to almost a meter in length (most of which is it's tail). Eastern water dragons have a varied diet including lizards, frogs, insects, and plants.
Long-nose Dragons are found in central and western Australia. They have an elongated snout but also have very long tails.
The Central Bearded Dragon is found in a stretch of arid land through central Australia. Bearded dragons get their name from the spikes around the underside of their head (and along their sides) which can protrude in an attempt to ward off possible predators (though these spikes are more rubbery than sharp). The Central Bearded Dragon feeds off of insects, fruits, and leaves. Bearded dragons are commonly kept as pets.
Eastern Bearded Dragons are found in eastern Australia and reach an average total length (including tail) of 50 cm (19.5 inches). Their diet consists of mainly insects as well as fruits, berries and plants. Eastern Bearded dragons rely on their camouflage as protection from predators but will puff up their beards if threatened to appear bigger. Bearded Dragons are popular pets because of their mild tempered nature.
Nobbi dragons can be found out basking in Eastern Australia. Insects are their main diet and adults (pictured here) grow to about 8 cm (not including their tail). Nobbi dragons are not very skittish and are sometimes kept as pets.
