The frill-necked lizard hunts for prey. What do you find most fascinating about this reptile?

I like how the lizard runs hilariously on feet, and then goes back to being cool and mystical climbing up that tree.

[@fyfyi6053]

It's so cute running like that I wanna kiss it.

The way he jumped the root obstacle 😂😂😂

1:40 score: 10/10 jumping facing up.

[@beautyforashes2022]

Lol, I don't know how he see where he's going with his nose up in the air like that. But obviously he sees just fine because he hurdled that branch like a champ and never missed a beat. Such a funny and dramatic lizard.

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

It's like he has a head that belongs to a much bigger lizzard

[@invisiblekincajou]

And that was an idea, yes.

That is ENTIRELY the point, haha. It's the whole basis of their defence mechanism.

That was actually their source of inspiration but Dilophosaurus most likely never had such a frill.

[@bendrover]

Its the weirdest thing having a 4 foot lizard 4 feet away from you stand up and start running your way. Its terrifyingly beautiful and hilarious at the same time. The only thing you can do is run and maby laugh at the same time. I was more then a little relieved when he ran up a nearby tree instead of me i can tell you.
