Behold Australia’s frilled-neck lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii), a reptile famous for its oversized neck flap! This appendage stands to attention like a satellite dish around this critter’s head when it feels threatened. To deter attackers, this lizard also hisses intensely—and if that doesn’t do the trick, it may turn to another time-tested strategy: running!
