The frilled lizard (Chlamy­dosaurus kingii) is a species in the family Agamidae. It is native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea. It is the only member of the genus Chlamydosaurus. Its common name comes from its large neck frill, usually folded against the lizard's body. It is about 90 cm (35 in) in length and can weigh 600 g (1.3 lb). Males are larger and more robust than females. The lizard is generally grey, brown, orangish-brown, or black. The frills have red, orange, yellow, or white colours. The lizard is largely arboreal, and its diet is mainly insects and other invertebrates. It is more active during the wet season, when it spends more time near or on the ground. In the dry season, it seeks shade in the branches of the upper canopy. It breeds in the late dry season and early wet season. The lizard uses its frill to scare off predators and to display to other individuals. The species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

The General is a 1926 American silent film released by United Artists. It was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil War. The story was adapted from the 1889 memoir The Great Locomotive Chase by William Pittenger. The film stars Buster Keaton in the leading role; Keaton co-directed it with Clyde Bruckman. The General was not well received by critics or audiences at the time of its release, but it has since been reevaluated and is now often ranked among the greatest American films.
