Frilled lizard — size comparison — facts and sources
The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) inhabits open forests in Australia and New Guinea. A skin frill surrounds the head but lies against the body during ordinary rest.
It can escape rapidly on the ground by raising the forequarters and running on its hind legs. Most time is spent on trunks and branches. It descends to obtain food, while the spread frill chiefly deters threats.
It eats insects and other small invertebrates and lays eggs in soil. Females are smaller than males.
