I am honestly humble by the capacity of nature and its ability to adopt to such extraordinary degree.

dude, jesus lizard is the frilled lizard, it runs on its two hind legs so fast that it can run across water. that lizard is more bad ass than this one.

i thought it was the frilled lizard, but there seem to be a bunch that can run on water. but they call them all jesus lizards.

Makes you think, what if Jesus found a way to harness this reptiles abilities through some unfounded science and walked on water.

Jesus The Super Hero was born.

And just like that we see in nature what we think to be supernatural.

As long as we are comparing...Gecko > Jesus. At least the little guy never started a religion deluding the masses.

Walks on water... until you add 1 drop of soap! Just like those Waterskater-bugs (if you don`t know what I`m talking about just add a drop of soap in a waterskater-bug-infected pond near you!).
David ftw.
