As their name suggests, Chinese water dragons spend most of their time near a water source, taking up residence close to river banks, in rainforests, or in swampy areas. They are strong swimmers, and will take refuge in the water when they are nervous or frightened. If need be, they can hide from predators by submerging themselves underwater for up to 25 minutes!
