The frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii)
They are also known as the frill-necked lizard or frilled dragon.

This is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae.
It is native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea.
This species is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus.
Its common names come from the large frill around its neck, which usually stays folded against the lizard's body.

The frilled lizard is largely arboreal, spending most of its time in the trees.
Its diet consists mainly of insects and other invertebrates.
It is more active during the wet season, which is when it spends more time near or on the ground. It is less observed during the dry season, during which it seeks shade in the branches of the upper canopy. It breeds in the late dry season and early wet season. The lizard uses its frill to scare off predators and display to other individuals. The species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Its distinctive appearance has been depicted in media.

The frilled lizard inhabits northern Australia and southern New Guinea.
Its Australian range stretches from the Kimberley region of Western Australia east though the Top End of the Northern Territory to Queensland's Cape York Peninsula and nearby islands of Muralug, Badu, and Moa, and south to Brisbane.
In New Guinea, it lives in the Trans-Fly ecosystem on both the Papua New Guinean and Indonesian sides of the island.
The species mainly inhabits savannahs and sclerophyll woodlands.
It prefers highly elevated areas with good soil drainage and a greater variety of tree species, mostly Eucalyptus species, and avoids lower plains with mostly Melaleuca and Pandanus trees.
Frilled lizards also prefer areas with less vegetation on the ground, as they can better spot prey from above.

The frilled lizard is considered to be among the most iconic Australian animals along with the kangaroo and koala.
Archeological evidence indicates that frilled lizards were eaten by some indigenous cultures.

Because of its unique appearance and behavior, the creature has often been used in media. In Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park, the dinosaur Dilophosaurus was portrayed with a similar looking neck frill that rose when attacking.

Say Hello to the newest member to the family.
This is a GTP also known as a Green tree python "Morelia viridis"
This species is native to New Guinea, Western Islands in Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia.
This girl is a Aru Green tree python

The green tree python is characterized by a relatively slim body with a relatively long tail that accounts for 14% of their total length. The head is large and clearly defined from the neck with the snout being large and angular and a body that is triangular in cross section with a visible spine.
This species usually reaches a total length (including tail) of around 150–180cm.

Being Primarily arboreal, The GTP has a particular way of resting in the branches of trees, it loops a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and places its head in the middle giving it an iconic look.
This trait is shared with the emerald tree boa (Corallus caninus) of Southern America.
This habit, along with their similar appearance, has caused people to confuse the two species when they are seen outside their natural habitat.
The diet of green tree pythons consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles, such as geckos and skinks.
They are known to use their tail as a lore by moving it as a worm to attract their prey.
