Frillnecked lizard also called the frilled lizard because of its
long ruff skin which lies usually on the back of his neck. These
long necked lizards grow up to 1 meter in length. In Australia
this lizard is mainly found in the southern part, New Guinea as
well as across the northern section. In Australia the frilled
lizard has been given a nickname due to its way of running away
when frightened, it’s called the "bicycle lizard". It is usually
grey, brown or reddish-brown colour. Its favorite food on land
is termites, spiders as well as vertebrates such as lizards
themselves. During the breeding season the males fight against
each other to impress the female concerned. This one lays up to
25 eggs under the ground, which hatch 5 months after. |
