Description

Photo taken in December, 2014 @ Natura Artis Magistra, Royal Amsterdam Zoo, The Netherlands

If I identified this youngster correctly, it's a Frill-Necked Lizard. There were several "babies" in the zoo, though their birth wasn't as specifically mentioned as that of other special reptiles.

Species: Frill-Necked Lizard (Kraaghagedis)

Latin name: Chlamydosaurus Kingii

Originates from northern Australia and southern New Guinea.

Did you know:

…The Frill-Necked Lizard is also called “Frilled Dragon”.

… It is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus.

…The male Frilled Lizard is generally larger than the female, but otherwise they’re hard to tell apart as they have the same colors.
