About the Basilisk Lizard

The Basilisk Lizard (Basiliscus basiliscus) is native to Central and South America and is famously known for its ability to run across the surface of water, earning it the nickname “Jesus Christ lizard.” Agile, alert, and visually oriented, it is well adapted to life in tropical riverine environments.

The skull reflects these adaptations: a slender and lightweight cranial framework, well-developed orbital cavities for keen vision, and a finely structured jaw equipped with small, sharp teeth. The elongated profile and angular contours give the skull a dynamic, almost aerodynamic appearance — carefully captured in this replica.
