Basiliscus plumifrons

The green basilisk lizard is also called a plumed or double-crested basilisk; but its amazing ability to run on water gives this species its most recognizable moniker: the Jesus Christ lizard.

"Basilisk

Basiliscus vittatus

The habit of dashing across small bodies of water on its hind legs is characteristic of this lizard. The fringes of the toes of the hind limbs are advantageous in this special type of locomotion."

Basilisk (Jesus Christ Lizard)

Basilisks sprint across jungle streams to escape danger.

Their long hind toes are fringed with fine scales to provide extra support on the water.

They eventually sink and continue by swimming with their powerful tails.
