The emerald basilisk, known for its striking green coloration and unique frilled crest, is a captivating sight in Costa Rica's lush rainforests. This agile lizard can often be seen perched on branches, showcasing its remarkable ability to blend into the vibrant foliage. With its distinctive red eyes and long tail, the emerald basilisk is not just a visual marvel but also an incredible example of adaptation in its natural habitat. Often referred to as the "Jesus Christ lizard" for its ability to run on water, this species embodies the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica. Observing these lizards in their native environment offers a glimpse into the wonders of tropical ecosystems.
