Green dragon
The green basilisk or plumed basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons) gets its name from the Greek word basilískos which means "little king". Commonly known as the Jesus Christ lizard, when scared they can run on their web-like hind legs across water for up to 60 feet, giving them the appearance of “walking on water”. Selva Verde Rainforest Reserve, Costa Rica.
