in #animal6 years ago

He is also called running Jesus Christ lizard.


With his ability to walk across the water, practically hovering over his hind legs is unique. He reaches a speed of about 12 km / h, he can keep five meters over the water, until he finally sinks. He presses his foot against the water by pushing it vertically downwards. To push off the water, he pushes his foot back in the second phase.
In Central and South America near lakes he inhabits bushes and trees. He looks like a primeval dragon through his erect combs. Also, some helm basilisks seem to be capable of producing moth.
