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!
