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!

The lizard will flee from a foe with wild abandon, legs churning and mouth agape in almost comical fashion, until it reaches the safety of the nearest tree.

New video is out!
A little late releasing this one (reasons why will be coming up in the next week's wildlife video), but we're wrapping up the August Arizona trip! Lizards in the sky islands and a little heartbreak on night one in the video, followed by a bit of a better bang as we left the desert state and moved into New Mexico on the way home.

could not believe my luck this morning.
this very sleepy western #skink was on the step. the warm january weather must be messing with it.
these little critters usually move so fast that all you see is a flash of their blue tails.
and don’t worry I gave it a polite nudge and it zipped off into the grass - so hopefully it will not be bird food today.

New video out (a pinch late because today got busy...), and one of the most significant from last year!
Days 3 and 4 of the August Arizona trip started with a slog, an all-day hike with a handful of lizards but nothing else much to show for it, especially when some unpredicted major rains shut the night down. But the next day...rare birds, a particularly striking specimen of a tiger rattlesnake, and perhaps one of the biggest finds of the year hands-down snake-wise!

Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be an inordinate number of skinks around the place this year? I was tidying up the garage earlier today and I must have seen a good half-dozen zipping around the place - big ones, too.

How a biological version of rock-paper-scissors determines if #lizard colors are maintained or lost https://phys.org/news/2026-01-biological-version-paper-scissors-lizard.html

"For 6 million years, these #reptiles have lived in colorful harmony, where individuals are born yellow, white or orange. There was no single dominant color because populations followed the rock-paper-scissors rules, where each color had a specific strength... this balance is being destroyed by larger, stronger, and more aggressive wall #lizards from Italy."

Detail of a simple door made of rough wooden boards. The wood is heavily weathered, with knotholes, and a distinctive grain in shades of brown, red, and gray. A rough nail and a piece of door bolt are visible, both rusty. A lizard is hiding in the gap between two boards. It holds its long tail in front of its body, head facing to the right. The little reptile is watching the photographer. (The lizard hangs actually upside down in the vertical wooden gap, but the image has been rotated 90°.) A perfect mimicry!

New video out!
Two trips to Arizona were taken last year, and the first...well, it went kind of rough. But even then, cool critters made themselves known, and in this episode I don't think it's misleading to say that the lizards took the spotlight again.

“New Year, new me!” It’s time to shed the old year and welcome the new one. Meet the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), a small lizard found throughout much of the southeastern United States. Did you know? As an anole grows, it sheds its old skin. This process, called ecdysis, helps the lizard get rid of damaged or infected skin and allows for new healthy skin to replace it. In fact, most reptiles (including turtles and snakes) shed their skin as they grow.
