While resting below the Panama Fruit Feeder Cam, this male common basilisk lizard was spotted bobbing its head in different directions. While this may seem like an odd behavior, many species of lizards use head-bobbing as a way to communicate. These up-and-down movements are used as a way to announce their territory, to assert dominance, or to court mates. See them LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/PanamaFeeders | Bird Cams

Some lizards, like the basilisk or Jesus lizard, are known for running on two legs. This unique ability allows them to move quickly across water or escape predators. When they run on two legs, they use their tail for balance and their powerful hind legs to propel themselves forward. It’s a fascinating adaptation that helps them survive in their environments.
