  • Basiliscus plumifrons

    Basiliscus plumifrons

    This relatively large lizard is also known as Jesus Christ lizard for its spectacular aptitude to walk on water (or more precisely to run on the surface of water). Its colors (mostly light green with touches of turquoise) are quite astonishing as soon as you put it in bright light. Basiliscus plumifrons. Costa Rica, 2015.
