Some Enemies of the frilled lizard is birds of prey such as larger lizards, snakes and dingoes, birds of prey- hawks, eagles and owls; pythons, large snakes and goannas; dingoes and quolls; humans. If danger threatens this lizard, it will run away on its hind legs, its fore legs held close against its body. However, if this creature is cornered, it will spread its frill, opening its mouth wide, hissing and stepping toward its enemy, giving the impression of a fierce adversary several times larger than its original size. Even ferocious hunting dogs, used to attack large lizards are frightened by this display.
