DESCRIPTION
The Bearded dragons are medium sized lizards that live in the desert. The Bearded dragon is a common lizard in Central Australia. You can eat it. It can change colours to hide and protect itself and it can run on all four legs. The bearded dragon eats smaller lizards.
HABITAT
It lives in woodlands, near creeks and in the sand country. The soil is usually sandy. Bearded dragons are found just walking around, in trees and in burrows sometimes you can catch it in trees where it cools down.
HUNTING AND COOKING
When the Bearded dragon is in the hole you have to look for its entrance and exit and then dig it out. When you have got it by the tail you have to pull it fast and hard. When it lets go you knock it on the head. You break its legs, and then you cut its guts open and pull its guts out. Then you put it in the hot coals. When there is blood coming out from its back it is cooked.
