Wildlife on display at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) bistro in Brisbane today.
I hadn't realised that male water dragons could change their dewlap colour on the fly, but this one was doing that as we watched. Whether he felt threatened by the smaller female, or was looking for love, we couldn't tell. The female may have been pregnant. She had a very round little belly.
@anathema_device most of our dragons have the ability to change colour as required.
@bushbark really? I did not know that. I know the eastern dragons change their dewlaps in breeding season but this was happening as we watched!
@anathema_device eastern bearded dragons will change their beard and tail colour to black when stressed or unwell. They also darken in the sun to absorb more heat. Very quick changes.
@anathema_device She did, didn't she! 😊
