Many male reptiles and snakes have "dewlaps" or "frills" that protrude from their throats when they are performing courtship rituals to attract a female, or to defend their territory to ward off an intruder. Some reptiles and snakes have head crests that do, essentially, the same thing, which may even prevent attacks from predators by making itself seem larger, and, thus, harder to attack.
