Curly-frilled lizard (SciiFii)

The curly-frilled lizard (Sinochlamydosaurus octosegmentum) is a species of lizard belonging to the family Agamidae, most closely related to the frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) of Australia, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the open woodlands, grasslands, shrublands, scrublands, and deserts across mainland Asia to help boost biodiversity. The curly-frilled lizard is a fairly large species of lizard, reaching about 85 centimeters (2.79 feet) in total length (including tail). As its name suggests, the curly-frilled lizard has a wide frill ending with curls, which resembles an octopus' tentacles, and it usually stays folded against the lizard's body unless it is frightened. The curly-frilled lizard's diet consists mainly of insects and small vertebrates, and will occasionally eat plants as well, although this behaviour is uncommon. The curly-frilled lizard is more terrestrial than the Australian frilled lizard. The curly-frilled lizard is a solitary animal throughout its life except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the curly-frilled lizard is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the curly-frilled lizard's wide range, and is tolerance to many of the human activities.
