The Common Basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus) is a lizard found in Central and South American rainforests near rivers and streams.The basilisk is part of the corytophanid family. It is also known as the Jesus Lizard, Jesus Christ Lizard or Lagarto de Jesus Cristo for its ability to run on the surface of water.

The horned lizard is popularly called a "horned toad," "horny toad", or "horned frog," but it is neither a toad nor a frog.
The spines on its back and sides are made from modified scales, whereas the horns on the heads are true horns
When threatened, their first defense is to remain still and hope to avoid detection. If approached too closely, they generally run in short bursts and stop abruptly to confuse the predator's visual acuity. If this fails, they puff up their body to cause it to look more horny
At least four species are also able to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of the eyes for a distance of up to 5 feet.
