17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Basilisk Lizard
While eating lunch near the border of Costa Rica and Nicaragua I noticed this Basilisk lizard watching from a nearby tree. It's also called the Jesus Christ Lizard because of its ability to run across a water's surface. I later saw this for myself while boating on a nearby river.
