The Jesus Christ Lizard.
Amazing for its ability to run on the surface of water at an average speed of 8.4 km/h (or 5.2 mph), they are also excellent climbers and swimmers; the basilisk has been known to stay underwater for up to half an hour.
They can be found in Central and South American rain forests near rivers and streams.
