Make a list of all the food that the water dragons like to eat. What do we call creatures that eat all those sorts of things?
We think the water dragons eat meat, flowers, salad, fruit, moths, worms and flies. We think that creatures who eat these things are called reptiles.

We think the answer is because there was only one water dragon and it was in Lyn's box.
