The Jesus Christ lizard or plumed basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons) is often seen in Tortuguero National Park in northeastern Costa Rica. This specimen is easily identified as a male due to its distinct back crest.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate how hilarious (and ridiculously surreal) this animal is?

The Jesus Christ lizard creates pockets of air between its feet and the water allowing it to essentially "walk on water."
