The loose folds of skin on their neck and sides allow them to climb into small crevices, gulp air to fill their lungs to full capacity and puff up their bodies to nearly twice normal width, so that a predator cannot get them out. Chuckwallas can also change their color somewhat to better absorb light and heat and to regulate their temperature.
