'water lizard' No one can do That !!!!!

Once upon a time there was a cat. She used to live alone because she was not very nice, but as the time passed she become so week to hunt for him self in order to survive, than the cat made a very cruel plan and trapped a very nice and cute little lizard in his false friendship. The lizard was very happy to get a cat as a friend. The lizard always seeks for food and tells the cat so that the cat can eat. But after passing some time the Jungle was getting full of water bit by bit and the food was going to be short. There were three days that the cat had not get her food and was so hungry. The made an other cruel plane and called the lizard at a very dangerous point where was no way to run three sides were hard to climb mountain rocks and one side deep black pond. After the cat and the lizard reached at the point the cat jumped on the lizard in order to eat him, but amazingly the lizard scape by running on the surface of the water. The cat was shocked and was feeling very upset,because she had lost his very good friend and a very special source of food

 


I am sure no one can do that what ever this animal is doing. No doubt that every animal has some unique tricks for surviving from predators, for hunting for escaping and for living but this little creature had crossed all the limits and boundaries of wonder to become the land creature who runs on the surface of water. 
The people called him the Jesus lizard because it can stand or can walk or can   run  on the surface of water like Jesus But we do not have to gave a lizard of such a personality although the lizard has no one to compare with his ability but after that it is an animal and animals are animals.
Walking on water is just not a miracle or magic but you can see with your real eyes on front of you some one can walk on the surface of water. The real name of this creature is Basilisk it is concerned to Central America and related Iguana.
The Water Walking Lizard I mean the Basilisk Lizard likes to live near Waters because the view of water is so beautiful Ha ha ha !!! I was just joking The reason living near the water is so simple to understand that this little creature uses his talent of walking and running on water to hunt, escaping from it's predator, by crossing the lake his predators are Birds, Snakes, Fishes, and other little land animals. The water walking lizard has the large hind feet which have fringe of scales helps him to perform the trick. The incredible hind feet creates a little kind of webs that can trap bobbles of air at water under it's feet.This trick makes them to float on the surface of water and one other thing, they have to run as fast as they can that can prevent them from sinking in to the water. When they stop running than they get a little swim to reach their desired destiny. The Basilisk have the weight from Two Hundred to Six Hundred Grams. The average length of the Basilisk is about One foot.
There are Four species of Basilisk 1. The Common basilisk  
                                                     2.Red-headed or Western basilisk 
                                                     3. Plumed basilisk.
                                                     4. Striped or Brown Basilisk (this is the runner - "The Jesus Lizard")
