Chlamydosaurus
The frilled-neck lizard〔http://www.csiro.au/promos/ozadvances/Series8Lizard.html〕 (''Chlamydosaurus kingii'' ), also known as the frilled lizard or frilled dragon, is a species of lizard, which is found mainly in northern Australia and southern New Guinea. This species is the only member of the genus ''Chlamydosaurus''. Its common name comes from the large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizard's body. ''C. kingii'' is largely arboreal, spending the majority of the time in the trees. The lizard's diet consists mainly of insects and small vertebrates. The frill-necked lizard is a relatively large lizard, averaging in total length (including tail). It is also kept as an exotic pet.
==Taxonomy==
British zoologist John Edward Gray described the frill-necked lizard in 1825 as ''Clamydosaurus Kingii'', from a specimen collected by Captain Phillip Parker King.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. (2011). ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. ("''Chlamydosaurus kingi'' ()", p. 141).〕
The frill-necked lizard is known as ''kurlamarnu'' to the Nyangumarta people of the Pilbara. In the Jawoyn language of the Katherine area, it is ''leliyn''.
