Eastern Water Dragon

My animals name is the Eastern Water Dragon. Their colors are gray and green with cream and black transverse bands. It is one meter long. It lives in Australia and has up to 1 meter long powerful legs and claws. Water dragons are omnivorous which means they eat both plants and animal matters. When danger comes it dives into the water. Water dragons take care of their young by putting them in the water with them when danger comes. Water dragons go in water to protect itself. Water dragons lay eggs when they have babies. Water dragons also scare animals away when they feel they are in danger.
