SYDNEY， March 16 (Xinhua) -- Australian bearded dragons have an ability to change their color depending on their surrounds， researchers have found.


In a study published on Thursday， scientists from The University of Melbourne found that the Central bearded dragon， a native Australian reptile that can reach up to two feet in length， is capable of switching between shades in a matter of seconds.


While the dragons' display is not as striking as that of a chameleon， a reptile renowned for its pyrotechnic color displays， the color palettes the large reptiles adopt changes depending on the shade of their surroundings.


Viviana Cadena， the project leader from The University of Melbourne， said that the dragons likely change colors to regulate body temperature and communicate with opposition in their territory as well as hiding from predators.


Cadena collected dragons from north-western Victoria and the red desert in the Northern Territory (NT)， habitats approximately 1，500 km apart， to use in the study.
