From Wikipedia:
This lizard is able
to run short distances across water using both its feet and tail for
support, an ability shared with other basilisks and the Malaysian
Sail-finned Lizard (Hydrosaurus amboinensis). In Costa Rica, this
has earned the plumed basilisk the nickname Jesus Christ lizard. It
is also an excellent swimmer and can stay under water for up to 30
minutes.
Plumed basilisk 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.
