Basilisks were everywhere and I took photos of all of them because they are so cute and expressive.

Male and female basilisks.
Taking photos in the rain forest was challenging. You could be standing in bright sun and then 20 ft away be in almost complete darkness under the tree canopy.
Tortguero National Park, Costa Rica.

Have you heard of the Jesus Christ lizard? Also known as Basilisk?
It can stand up and run on water.
Here is a baby basilisk (yes, he already know how to run on water).

"[Darren Naish] I’m very fond of these large, attractive lizards and hope to see them in the wild some day. As should be clear, there’s a lot to say about basilisks beyond the water-running behaviour, and even that turns out to be more complex and nuanced than usually explained."
