From today's featured article  The frilled lizard (Chlamy&shy;dosaurus kingii &#41; is a species in the family Agamidae. It is native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. It is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus. Its common name comes from its large neck frill, usually folded against the lizard's body. It is about 90 cm (35 in) in length and can weigh 600 g (1.3 lb). Males are larger and more robust than females. The lizard is generally grey, brown, orangish-brown, or black. The frills have red, orange, yellow, or white colours. The lizard is largely arboreal, and its diet is mainly insects and other invertebrates. It is more active during the wet season, when it spends more time near or on the ground. In the dry season, it seeks shade in the branches of the upper canopy. It breeds in the late dry season and early wet season. The lizard uses its frill to scare off predators and to display to other individuals. The species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. (Full article...)
