Pretty cool! Can't wait to have tree-water dragons in 10 years. Lol
They already do climb trees. I am not sure of the name of the tree but I have observed them in a low growing (4m) tree with messy boughs, this particular tree was over-hanging a canal. Many times I climbed the tree and tried to sneak up on them only to be beaten by them jumping straight into the water.
[doublepost=1518262239,1518260984][/doublepost]They definitely do have a good bite.
I wouldn't be surprised if her 20kg bite strength statement is a conservative one. I have had a large wild adult male grab my pinky. I had caught him near a KFC (must have been getting in the bins), the closest water was about one kilometre away so I decided to take him somewhere closer to water.
I stopped at my mates place to show him. I got him out of the box and while switching hands I put my pinky in the wrong spot and he decided to chomp down. My initial reaction was to apply pressure to his throat in an attempt to restrict his breathing in the hope of him releasing. This thought lasted about ten seconds until I realised my stupidity, it's a Water Dragon you idiot he can hold his breath for at least thirty minutes. I called out to my mate to come help, all the while this dragon is biting down releasing a little and biting down again.
Now my mate is a big boy, not fat, but tall and pushing 110kg. He needed both hands and had to use quite a bit of force to open its mouth.
Luckily it had grabbed me on the end of the finger and was across my nail so the wound was only on the underside of my pinky, it had cut the edge of my nail though.
