Smithills Open Farm is a working farm which is run as a visitor attraction (http://www.smithillsopenfarm.co.uk/ farm website). As well as traditional farm animals (cows, sheep, pigs, goats etc) the farm is also home to a number of other animals and has a small reptile house containing snakes and this Bearded Dragon lizard which is native to Australia. The name "bearded" refers to the "beard" of the lizard, the underside of the throat which turns black if they are stressed or see a potential rival.
