Emerald basilisk, male - rio Medio Queso - Costa Rica

During a boat trip over rio Medio Queso we discovered this, in my eyes, strange creature. I was so excited to see an animal like this one, totally in protective coloration, the same color as the leaves around him. His nickname is Jesus Christ. This because when he runs away he can make a movement over the surface of the water... It sounds a little bit strange but when he had enough of being there where we saw him, indeed he ran for a short distance over water...really. Dear Flickr friends, I don’t say it so often but thank you so much for looking at, faving and commenting on my photos. I love it all!!!
