Basilisk lizard is famous for being a ghost in an ancient legend. It had its body like a snake and its head like a high-crested dragon with its crest, quickly hidden, exposed and breathed out a poisonous gas that killed every animal that approached. But the fact that the animal in the old legend, in fact, is just a crest of the crest, live mainly in Central American rainforest, is cold-blooded. They live in tree holes, to warm up body temperature. When startled by enemies, lizards Jesus often jumps into a stream or river to escape.

Basilisk lizards run very fast, they can reach speeds of 15 to 16 miles per hour . If they were as big as humans, then that speed would be 800 miles an hour. Because agility on them can run on water like flying.

The bodies of these lizards are very light. Between the toes there is a thin film when running on water, they spread out. They run on their hind legs and balance their tails, until they can sink themselves but cannot drown because they swim very well.
