Kal is 8 and loves to learn & share facts about animals. He dictates his posts for his mom & dad so that it's all written in his own voice. Mom & Dad do not do any fact-checking, but Kal seems to have an uncanny memory for all things animal-related. He hopes that one day his blog will be as famous as National Geographic.

Green basilisk lizard
The green basilisk lizard lives in India and can walk across the water on its hind legs without breaking the surface! But it can only sprint doing that, which means it can only do that for a short amount of time. They run in bursts then, well, you know what happens - they have to go to swimming. Basilisk lizards are good swimmers. When they dive, they can hold their breath for a half an hour or so. And they can also climb trees. And on the plus side, they're good at surviving because they're omnivores which means they eat both vegetables/fruits and meat. Their diet includes insects and a fruit called jobo fruit.
