Dragon
Dragon is a close-up profile of a seemingly fierce (though in reality quite shy) Water Dragon at the National Botanic Gardens, Canberra.
Behind the scenes
These creatures may look fierce but in reality are quite timid. And no, they don’t breath fire! They are quite agile creatures and accomplished swimmers, as this dragon demonstrated when it repeatedly leapt off the rocks into the water from some height.
