The central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps), also known commonly as the inland bearded dragon, is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is native to eastern and central Australia. Its common name refers to the pouch under their chin that they can inflate and darken in coloration, similar to the frilled lizard. The bearded dragon grows to around up to 60 cm (24 in) from head to tail tip and can weigh 550 g (0.6 lb). Males are generally larger than females. The lizard's body is generally brown, tan, yellow, and red.
