Brown Basilisk
I've been seeing a lot of this lizard lately, which I looked up and found is a Brown Basilisk, also referred to as a Common Basilisk, , Jesus Christ Lizard or just Jesus Lizard. It gets that name from it's ability to scurry across the surface of the water, "walk on water" so to speak. They are relatively shy and generally retreat to trees when approached but this one let me get close enough for this low angle shot. Peaceful Waters Sanctuary. (Basiliscus vittatus)
