Plumed Basilisk at Zoo Miami, Florida

Details best viewed in Original Size

According to Wikipedia, the Plumed Basilisk (also called a Green Basilisk, Double Crested Basilisk, or Jesus Christ lizard), is native to Central America, ranging from eastern Honduras, through Nicaragua and Costa Rica, to western Panama. These lizards may grow up to 3 feet (1 m) in length (most of which is tail), with an average length of about 2 feet (0.6 m). Males have three crests: one on the head, one on their back, and one on the tail. The females, however, only have one crest, on the head. This lizard is able to run short distances across water using both its feet and tail for support, an ability shared with other basilisks. In Costa Rica, this has earned the Plumed Basilisk the nickname "Jesus Christ lizard".
