🦎Frill-necked Lizard

Chlamydosaurus kingii Gray, 1825

חַרְדּוֹן הצַוָּארוֹן (שם מדעי: Chlamydosaurus kingii), הוא מין של לטאה. הוא קרוי כך בגלל עטרת הצוואר המרשימה אשר מצויה על צווארו. העטרת נתמכת על ידי סחוס מעמוד השידרה, וכשהחרדון חש בסכנה, הוא פותח את פיו וכך חושף את פנים הפה שצבעו ורוד וצהוב בוהק אשר אמור להרתיע את האויב. בנוסף לכך, הוא פורש את עטרת צווארו שצבעו בגווני כתום-אדום כמין להבה.
