Animals - Frill Necked Lizard

In the deserts and jungles of Australia lives a very peculiar creature named Frill Necked Lizard. The name given to this miniature animal is Chlamydosaurus kingii. 

Can you believe that this tiny little creature looks like it lived with those mountainous dinosaurs? For me the Frill Necked Lizard looks like it has been living for millions of years! Look:

Did you know that the frill of the Dilophosaurus dinosaur in Jurassic Park was inspired by this little creature?

The Frill Necked Lizard, has two big black eyes, showing mostly its fearlessness. Its frills are usually decorated with brownish spots on top, and in the middle it is separated and continued with a cream coloured end and spots above it. Its body has the colour of dried light brown. Its frills are 15cm away from his head. Its tail has no colour difference from the body, however a Frill Necked Lizard has a tail of approximately 20cm! The lizard has small legs that can climb the highest trees in the jungle even though they look tiny. Nevertheless, these miniature legs help the lizards to run faster. 

Although not every animal has a loud roar, or big teeth to eat, they all have something that makes them rare. This is why we should not kill or trap animals, so that we can continue looking at nature and its epic peculiar animals and plants.
