Basilisk Lizards actually run across water. They vigorously pump their legs when running on water, slapping their feet forcefully against the ground. This creates tiny pockets of air that keep them floating. Basilisk lizards are capable of running many meters on water. But eventually, gravity will win out, after which they have to rely on their swimming abilities.
