What is a "frilled lizard"?

A frilled lizard, also known as the frill-necked lizard, is a unique reptile native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. Its most distinctive feature is the large frill around its neck, which it can raise and display as a defense mechanism when threatened or during territorial displays. The frilled lizard is known for its impressive agility and ability to run on its hind legs when moving quickly. It primarily feeds on insects and small vertebrates, using its long, slender tongue to capture prey. When not threatened, the frilled lizard is relatively docile and spends much of its time basking in the sun.
