Would you be afraid if this lizard crossed your path? These lizards are known for their dramatic neck frills, which make them look like butterfly wings were attached to either side of their necks. These are native to Australia and have the ability to run on their hind legs. They love to bask in the sun and hunt for insects.
Frill-necked lizards can be relatively friendly and docile. They typically tolerate moderate handling and may even perch on a person's shoulder to observe their surroundings.

There are videos of them running on their hind legs. They look really funny.

He reminds me of the Jurassic Park lizard that spits venom!
No, I wouldn't worry about meeting him. I already know lizards are usually shy and stay away from most people.
