The bearded dragon got its name from the spiky flap of skin around its snout. The flap puffs up like a bristly beard when the bearded dragon feels threatened. But the bearded dragon is not nearly as ferocious as it looks, preferring to run away rather than get into a fight. Natives of the Australian interior, these lizards are popular pets.
