- Cover photo description:
- This is a Basiliscus vittatus lizard species, a young female. Corytophanidae family. Common name: brown basilisk or striped basilisk. The species is native to Mexico, Central America and adjacent northwestern Colombia.The brown basilisk has large hind feet with narrow flaps of skin on the distal edge of each toe. The male brown basilisk can reach 61 centimetres (24 in) in total length (including tail), but the female is somewhat smaller. It has a three-part dorsal crest on the head, along the back, and along the tail. Coloration is brown or olive brown with black crossbands. The crossbands are usually only on the flanks and on the dorsal crest. There is also a white stripe, which extends from the eyes to the rear legs. The male has a larger crest than the female. The brown basilisk weighs 200–600 g (0.44–1.32 lb). The fact that they move quickly across the water gives them the appearance of "walking on water". Observed near Cerro Cahuà Protected Biotope, Petén department, Guatemala.
