The frill neck lizard is just one of the many intriguing creatures you may see on a visit to Litchfield National Park.
This frill neck lizard or frilled dragon is a protected species in the Northern Territory (NT). It belongs to the dragon family and can grow up to 1m in length. Males are a lot larger than females. It camouflages well and is known for its stance when frightened. It puffs out the skin around its neck and opens its mouth to scare predators away. The frill can also help regulate the lizard's body temperature and you’ll often see the frilled neck lizard running on their two hind legs.
