Basilisk lizards are just amazing. They have been called “Jesus Christ lizards" because they can run across the surface of water. They have high speed and long toes and make incredible aquatic dashes. It can reach speeds of approximately 1.5 meters per second for short distances before needing to swim. Basilisk lizards are typically found in Central and South America, living near water sources where they can utilize their unique abilities to evade threats and hunt for food.
Just take a look at this guy run on water. Can you do that?

That's incredible. He looks so funny with his legs so far apart as he runs.
