One such species is the Double-crested basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons), captured in a breathtaking moment as it effortlessly dashes across the water's surface in Santa Rita. Its vibrant colors and distinctive crests make it a sight to behold. In another captivating image, we see a Common basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus) perched on a rock amidst the flowing river in Canande, Esmeraldas, Ecuador. With its keen alertness evident in its gaze, this creature showcases both beauty and vigilance.

A close-up shot of a young Common Basilisk reveals intricate details of its head and front leg while peacefully resting on a leaf within the rainforest canopy.

Their swift movements leave spectators awestruck at nature's wonders. Whether it be witnessing their daring sprints or admiring their striking appearances against lush backdrops, encountering basilisks is always an enchanting experience that reminds us of Earth's diverse wildlife and our responsibility to protect it for future generations to marvel at these magnificent creatures.
