Frilled Neck Lizard Attacks 'Rescuer'

submitted by newtboy

8 years 6 months 3 weeks ago

A budding wildlife photographer had a close call with a frilled-neck lizard on January 31. Ricky Mackenzie said he was exploring 100km northwest of Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, when he saw the lizard on a dirt road. The 18-year-old said he tried to move the animal to safety, but it turned and chased him.

Mackenzie said: “I see a lot of frillies. I didn’t want this one to get run over. I tried to help but he didn’t want a bar of it.”

The video shows the lizard chasing Mackenzie, before climbing up his leg and torso.

“It climbed right up my body. I had to pull it off and it then ran away.”

I like coming up with wild hypotheses and narratives, so here is one: The lizard saw its reflection in the camera phone. Being highly territorial, it therefore attempted to chase off the intruder who was staring him down in the reflection of the backside of the camera phone. Eventually, the "tree" supporting the camera phone reflected intruder stopped moving and the lizard ran up the "tree" and confronted the reflected intruder. However the camera phone was eventually moved for a side view causing the intruder to disappear. The lizard suddenly found itself upon a moving "tree" whose branches could move and grasp onto him, and it decided to get the heck out of Dodge.
