Peninsula Dragon
Ctenophorus fionni or the Peninsula Dragon
Found on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula and some offshore islands, these small, sun-loving dragons feed on virtually any insects they can catch, including ants. Females are usually smaller than males, and will lay two to four eggs
per clutch. Eggs are laid from spring to early summer. The Peninsula dragon can be found in and around rocky outcrops where it hide in the crevices formed between rocks.
As with many species of dragon, the peninsula dragon will display to other members of the same species by bobbing their heads and waving their arms.
