Figurine at the Peace Fountain at Saint John the Divine

Have been known to walk on water

Basiliscus Plumifrons, female, Tortuguero, Costa Rica. This is also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard because it can run across the surface of water. For an explanation, follow this link: news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/11/1116_041116_jesu...

Mary Lou spotted this basilisk in a tree next to the center building. It was difficult to see through the tree branches, about a foot long. We paid a brief visit to the eagle nest and then went on to Chapel Trail. A very quiet morning. Visit rosy-finch.blogspot.com

Despite the powers of legend, I did not die taking this photo.

wow - this little lizard is the basilisk - the one creature that can turn you by his gaze to stone - I asked my friend Ghasem to look at the Basilisk's face, but got really angry then, when he remained there like a statue & refused to come on with me - at least I could pick his car-keys out of his pocket..
