A Bearded Dragon Has Been Rescued In Sussex After Being Found Stranded In Freezing Temperatures At A Cricket Ground By A Member Of The Public

The RSPCA took the reptile, which has been named Dave, into its care and said the lizard, native to Australia, would not have survived for long in the cold weather if it had not been found.

Bearded dragons are endothermic animals, which means they cannot generate their own body heat and need warmth to survive, according to RSPCA inspector, Rachel Smith. Had Dave not been found, he would have been at death’s door before long, she added.
