The "Jesus Christ Lizard"
As I toured Peaceful Waters Sanctuary in Florida I noticed a fair number of these lizards which were identified as the "Jesus Christ Lizard" for their ability to run on top of water as they run away. Apparently an animal that is not native to Florida but kept as pets and released into the environment when the owner tires of their pet. It's quite an interesting sight when it does run!
