Basilisk male

Cano Negro, Costa Rica

A smallish Iguanid which favours waterside habitats. This is the so-called Jesus Christ Lizard which takes this name from its ability to sprint over water (its speed, light weight& large splayed feet all help to prevent it breaking the water's surface tension).
