The Basilisk Lizard-
- It can walk on water but how?
- It can walk on water because it is very light weight, has special flaps between their toes that make air pockets, and it is very fast moving (5 mph).
- The challenge that humans face is that they can't walk on water, they cant run as fast as the lizard, because if we did we would sink. We need to have something that is can make a human 3x faster and a part that can make air pockets to help us last longer. What we could make is a "Water Board" with three propeller under the water, one at the end and two in the front on the sides. Then another thing could be two tubes that can blow air down to keep it afloat.
