What’s a frilled lizard?

The Hindu  

The dinosaur in the first Jurassic Park movie which would unfurl its extendible neck frill and spit venom when intimidated? But meet Australian frilled lizard, the closest you will ever get to watching something as bizarre as the Dilophosaurus’ defence strategy. It will quickly turn, and bolt, running on its hind legs, its legs flailing, yellow mouth wide open, and will not stop until it ambles up a tree for safety. The eggs are laid in underground nests and hatchlings are independent, able to hunt as they emerge and adept at using the neck frill.
