Plumed basilisk
Also known as the Green basilisk, double crested basilisk, or the Jesus Christ lizard. They are native to Central America, living in tropical rainforests. The reason they are called Jesus Christ lizards is because they can run on water for short distances. They use their feet and tail for support, and run so fast they create an air pocket that they can propel themselves forward with.

Tortuguero. Costa Rica 2014.
Green basilisk or double crested basilisk.
They can walk on water and we saw it !!!! but it was so unexpected that we could not capture the moment in a video or photo.
Their camouflage is perfect, it was very hard to see him at first.
Only the males have crest and it’s double.
