Walking on Water: The Jesus Lizard

This is the Jesus Christ Lizard, which can reach a swift speed of 1.5 metres a second on water. Yes, water. It is one of the only animals in the world that can actually run on water, which makes it a difficult and agile prey. Rainforests are home to an incredible array of biodiversity.

See this lizard in action on National Geographic’s Youtube channel.
