Eastern Water Dragons are a common sight along Brisbane waterways.
Before and during the breeding season it's easy to see males fighting
for supremacy. Sometimes they like to bask in the sun on branches
overhanging water, if they feel threatened they will drop down in the
water and swim away with their head out of the water or totally
submerged.
