🦎Frill-necked Lizard
Chlamydosaurus kingii, unique représentant du genre Chlamydosaurus, est une espèce de sauriens de la famille des Agamidae. Elle peut être nommée lézard à collerette ou dragon d'Australie. Il est appelé ainsi à cause du large repli de peau qu'en temps normal il tient appliqué sur son cou. La collerette (ou chlamyde) est pourvue de « baleines » cartilagineuses et lorsque l'animal se sent en danger, il ouvre sa gueule en grand et déploie sa collerette, formant une vaste tache menaçante jaune et rosée. Il semblerait que cette collerette, richement vascularisée, intervienne aussi dans la thermorégulation de l'animal.
