how does lizards run on water
Next to lizards that look like miniature dragons and that donât need sex, these lizards more properly known as basillisks may be even more spectacular: they have the seemingly miraculous ability to run across water! The Jesus Christ lizard is able to run on water to escape predators! Slapping their long-toed feet hard against the water they create a tiny air pocket that keeps them from sinking. This in combination with loose skin between their toes, enables them to move along the surface for over 5 meters.
