Jesus Christ Lizard (Basilik)

 

The Basilik Lizard of Central America is called the Jesus Christ Lizard, because it runs lickety-split across the top of the water (see picture at far right)!  It is one of the most hilarious creatures the Lord has ever created!  I've seen them on a National Geographic special, and cracked up!  They stand erect on the water, puffs out the side of its neck, and runs like crazy across the water!
Below are some photos of it.  Click on thumbnails to enlarge.

Agape!
