Meet the "Jesus Christ Lizard". He runs on water 🏃 | The Dodo

Basilisk have the nickname "Jesus Christ Lizard" for their ability to run across the surface of water on their hind legs to escape predators. | explore.org

George Kittle on Brock Purdy: “He’s Jesus Christ lizard, running on water, no ball security, fake pitching at the end of a 40-yard run, absolutely diabolical behavior by our QB1, but I love it. As long as he’s running out of bounds I don’t care, just don’t take a hit. I just don’t need that in my life.” | KNBR

The reptile most associated with the running-on-water behaviour is the Green Basilisk or the Jesus lizard. Indian Forest Services (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shared a video and explained how the animal is able to do this. “Physics at work…" he wrote, further stating that “surface tension, the force created when water molecules cling together, becomes dominant, allowing small animals to walk effortlessly over water bodies." #lizard #jesus #animals #nature #wondersofnature #viralvideo https://www.
