Water Dragon awesome shot,

This is a shot of a little water dragon,
The water dragon is a type of lizard native to Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Guinea. They are known for having a crest on their neck and a well-developed ability to swim and hold their breath. In fact, the main defense of the water dragon is to drop from the trees into a river or lake. Here, they can remain hidden underwater for up to 90 minutes!

While the water dragon is commonly kept as a pet, the species is considered “Vulnerable” in the wild – in part due to the pet trade. Plus, while the pet trade has depleted the water dragon from its natural environment, it has also established invasive populations in other areas. So, keeping a water dragon as a pet is questionable, at best. However, captive breeding operations may help reduce the harvest of water dragons from the wild.
