Saw quite a few lizards and iguanas in Antonio Manuel National Park yesterday morning. This one is a Ctenosaur – it was about 2 feet long and resting on a tree overlooking the beach:
And this one is a Plumed Basilisk, also known as the Jesus Christ Lizard, for his ability to run across water for up to 20 meters:
And these little ones (20 cm) ran so fast and their heads darted in all directions so frequently that they reminded me of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park:

Would you look at the claws on that velociraptor! Damn, grow that baby 50 times, give it a brain much larger than the current pea, make it have a distinct taste for fresh homo-sapien, and voila, Spielberg on acid!
