Frilled-neck Lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) spotted basking on a tree in Broome, Western Australia 🖤💛❤️🇦🇺🦎 #lizardsrule | Mick Fullerton Wildlife

🦎The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) is one of the most distinctive reptiles of northern Australia and New Guinea. Its iconic frill is used as a defense mechanism, spreading wide when the lizard feels threatened. Despite their fierce appearance, frilled lizards are primarily insectivores, feeding on insects and small invertebrates. Here, you can watch our frilled lizards enjoying its meal up close. | Malta National Aquarium
