Very interesting, the Texas Lizard fact is truth and impressive.
Here is a video from national geographic showing his special defense.

The fact that always picked my curiosity is the Basilik one.(also call the Jesus Lizard) I don't how he can run on water. Some animal are very fast (like the leopard) and I never saw a video of them running on water. Quite interesting! :D

You wanted to know how they run on water? It's quite interesting and simple, really. They build up enough speed and when they step to run on the water their feet go down and push the air down in the water, and they step forward really fast before the water covers their foot. Yeah. :D

Are you talking about the retic they found recently in Indonesia? I thought they disproved that?

Those are some cool infos.Thank you every one.I didn't like the blood comming out of the Texas Horned Lizard.We have a Frilled Dragon and they are such great Lizards.Ours love to run up the tree.I'm glad that I have a reptile leash on him so he can't get up there to high or he would be gone :lol: .
