Chronotypes

diurnal (active during the day)

Behaviour

Partly arboreal. Bearded Dragons often climb into low shrubs to catch the last warming rays of the setting sun but as the sun sets they loose body heat and become stranded. If they don't warm up rapidly at sunrise they can easily be snatched by hunting raptors.
