Captured by a small creek in my local neighbourhood, this little one was definitely ready to dive into the creek for cover. Sitting completely still he was keeping a very close eye on me. Eastern Water Dragons are very fast runners, strong climbers, and very good swimmers. To hide from potential danger they will dive into waterways, where they can stay submerged at the bottom for up to 90 minutes until danger has passed.
