Pogona Barbata:

This species of bearded dragon lives along the eastern and southern coasts of Australia. It is darker than the familiar P. vitticeps and has bigger spikes. Possibly the largest species in the Pogona genus, some P. barbata exceed 8 inches snout-vent length. They live in a variety of habitats, including seasonally wet forests and dry scrublands. They eat a wide variety of foods, including insects, fruit, greens, flowers, and even smaller lizards. Their approximate range is shown below.
