Basilisk Lizard.
Basilisk Lizards are native to Central and South America. These lizards can grow up to about two feet in length. They are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and small animals in order to survive. Though these lizards generally live in trees in rainforest climate, they can drop from the trees into the water and run across it when they feel threatened.
