The Red-headed basilisk or Western basilisk (Basiliscus galeritus) is a lizard relative of iguanas. It has a prominent crest on the head and an exceptional ability to run on water surfaces, allowing it to escape from predators. It is a common species in the Colombian Pacific region and, although it is not threatened, pressure from illegal mining and forest logging may decimate its populations (photo by Juan Gonzalo Ochoa, DVM, Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia).
