Another famous Australian animal!

Welcome back to school.  I hope you had a happy vacation over Christmas and that you are now ready for more interesting studies. We had a quiet Christmas in Toowoomba, and it was not too hot.


More on Australian animals!  Do you know this one?  It is on Australia's two cent coin, which is no longer used.  Japanese people love this animal, probably because they like dragons.  This animal is a Lizard, and it is sometimes called a "Bearded Dragon" or "Frilled Lizard". There are many different types of this lizard in Australia, and they can be found even in my garden...or out in the desert.  When they want to defend themselves they puff out the the big collar of skin around their head.  Just like in the pictures below.

Some children keep them as pets.  They can bite, but are not poisonous.


Until next time, study hard and practice English every day.

    Hi Teresa,

    The animal is a lizard. See if you can google 'Bearded Dragon' and see what you can find about them.
