Learn why frilled lizards open their big frills and make hissing sounds to scare animals away. A fun and simple explanation for young kids!
Hi there! Let's learn about frilled lizards. They have a special neck flap called a frill. When they get scared or want to stay safe, they open their big frill all around their neck. This makes them look bigger and more frightening to other animals.
They also make a loud hissing sound. Hissing means a scary noise like a snake might make. This helps to scare away animals that want to eat them. So, the frill and hiss are like the lizard's way of saying, 'Don't eat me! I look big and scary!'
Isn't that cool? Animals sometimes use tricks to keep safe, just like we do!
