In common usage, the term "Basilisk lizard" refers to a group of lizards belonging to the genus Basiliscus, which are famous for their extraordinary ability to run on water.
These lizards are also known as "Jesus Christ lizards" due to their ability to appear as if they are walking on water, much like the biblical figure. Their long toes and other physiological adaptations, such as skin flaps between their toes that create a larger surface area to support their weight, allow them to engage in this novel behavior.
The basilisk lizard is a native of Central and South America, where it lives in and around water sources like rivers, streams, and lakes. The ability to quickly sprint across the water's surface and disappear into trees or vegetation is one way that these animals evade predators.
The green basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons) is one of several species of Basilisk lizards that have attracted significant attention and scientific study. These lizards are arboreal (they live in trees) and are typically a bright green color. Scientists and reptile fans alike find them fascinating because of their remarkable agility and unique behaviors.
