Meet the Bicycle Lizard | National Geographic

northern Australia is a hotbed of exotic
animals including the frilled lizard the
frill is that rough like collar it uses
to bluff its enemies like feral cats now
here’s the frill at half-staff look
let’s go all the way with this thing
let’s pretend you’re a predator are you
ready to see the frilled lizard in full
scare mode ok collar boy let’s see what
you got hey hey watch it as you can see
the whole point in this exercise was to
get the frilled lizard on the run
because a frilled lizard on the run is
one of nature’s most offbeat
entertaining sights I mean check out
that leg action the way it runs pumping
its back legs akimbo has earned it the
name bicycle lizard
the point of the scary frill is to give
the lizard enough time to beat a hasty
retreat rocketing up the nearest
arboreal loft
