Bearded Dragons The real-life dragons of modern day are the fascinating creatures called Bearded Dragons. Everyone who knows a bit about reptiles has probably heard of the Bearded Dragon. This is because the Bearded Dragon is one of the most common kept pet reptile. They are pretty easy keep and widely available in pet stores and breeders. There will be information about what their adaptations to the wild are, how they evolved over time, and what their impact on society is. The Bearded Dragon has many adaptations to their environment. One of them is that they have spikes and rough scales all over their body. This helps them survive because …show more content…

If climate change continuous it will make the wild Bearded Dragon go extinct in the wild. Which will lead to a long term impact to the ecosystem. The temperature determines whether a Bearded Dragon egg becomes female or male. If it is cooler the baby Bearded Dragon egg will become female, and if it is warmer the baby Bearded Dragon egg will become male. With humans who are putting more and more Carbon into the world the weather becomes hotter. That has many effects which includes that almost all the Bearded Dragons are now becoming male, which means they are not be able to reproduce at a normal rate until climate change stops. If the Bearded Dragon does go extinct it would be a bit of a shame to human society because it has survived many different obstacles through history, it lived when the dinosaurs were on earth. Another major impact it has on the ecosystem is that the Bearded Dragons eat insects and plants and feed the predators, if they can get the Bearded Dragons. In the places where the Bearded Dragons live there is just enough food for all animals to sustain themselves. So if the Bearded Dragon goes extinct in the wild all animal species that are a predator to the Bearded Dragon may go extinct too. An impact the Bearded Dragon has on society is that “it teaches people about reptiles and it helps study the reptiles, and dinosaurs because reptiles very closely related to dinosaurs.” As the owner of the company Atomic Lizard Ranch
