Basilisco Chilote

The basilisco chilote is a type of lizard that lives in a place called Chiloé, which is an island in Chile. Imagine a small animal that looks a bit like a lizard, but it has some special features. For example, it has flaps of skin under its arms and legs that it can use to glide through the air. It also has a long tail that it can detach (like how you can take off a toy's arm). This can help it escape from predators by distracting them with the twitching tail while the lizard runs away. The basilisco chilote likes to live near water, and it eats things like insects and small fish. It's a pretty cool lizard, don't you think?
