This unusual lizard is known for the large frill around its neck that it can spread out like an umbrella when it feels threatened. It's a medium-sized lizard that can grow up to 85 centimeters long and is usually a mix of browns and greys to blend in with the environment. Its frill, which is bright orange and red when spread out, is its most distinguishing feature that sets it apart from other lizards.  \nFrom their unique looks, let's hop to where these cool creatures call home. Frilled Neck Lizards live in the warm, tropical climates of northern Australia and southern New Guinea. They love hanging out in the trees of woodlands, savannahs, and forests, but they can also be found scurrying around on the ground when hunting for food. Their home is very important to them, and they even have special scales on their toes to help them grip and climb trees!  \nSpeaking of hunting for food, let's explore what's on the menu for these frilly friends. Frilled Neck Lizards are carnivores, which means they love to eat meat! Their diet mainly consists of small insects, spiders, and occasionally, other small lizards. They're also known to be quite the speedy hunters, using their quick reflexes and sharp teeth to catch their prey.  \nNow, let's take a peek into their lifestyle and how they interact with other creatures, including us humans. These lizards are not naturally aggressive towards humans, but they will use their frill as a defense mechanism if they feel threatened. Their frill acts as a scare tactic against potential predators, making them appear larger and more dangerous than they actually are.
