Frilled-neck lizard: Wait a minute, didn't this man make an appearance in Jurassic Park? That ruffled skin neck collar appears to be handy for keeping crumbs from falling over his lap. Frilled lizards, or frillnecks, are members of the dragon family that live in the tropical and warm temperate forests and savanna woodlands of northern Australia. They spend most of their lives in the trees, but descend occasionally to feed on ants and small lizards. Other menu items include spiders, cicadas, termites, and small mammals. They vary in color and size from region to region. On average, the larger adults reach about 3 feet from head to tail and weigh up to 1.1 pounds.
