Frilled Lizard

Description

Product Description Frilled lizards inhabit the woodlands and forests of southern New Guinea and northern Australia. Its name comes from the large frill around its neck, which it uses as a defence mechanism to scare away potential predators. Although this lizard has its frill blossomed out, we promise it’s no danger to you! Individually hand painted and sculpted, this model makes an excellent gift for any and all nature lovers. 11.5 inches long and 6.5 inches tall, our frilled lizard figurine is about as long as a standard American ruler and roughly an inch taller than a soda can. Frilled lizards generally take on the colour of their habitat, and can be any mixture of orange, red, brown, grey, and dark green. Frilled lizards are fairly abundant in their natural range, although they have faced slow decline in the 20th century. Habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as the introduction of the invasive cane toad species in the 1930’s, have played the largest part in their recent population drop. Still, they are currently classified as a species of least concern. Safety Warning Not suitable for children under the age of 3 See all Product description
