Frilled-necked lizard
The frilled lizard is popular for its frill around the neck. The frill can be up to 20-25cm in diameter when expanded. It is an arboreal animal meaning that it spends the majority of its life in the trees. The lizard lifts up its upper body and runs swiftly on its hind legs like humans. This unique frilled lizard running style enables it to run safely.
Frilled lizards can be found in humid climates such as tropical jungles and forests, across Australia and Papua New Guinea.
