Skills

and senses

Animals have incredible abilities

that help them hunt, communicate,

and keep safe. From sensing prey

through electric signals to making

and using tools, the animal

kingdom is full of extraordinary

creatures with a special skill

or a super sense.

The basilisk lizard has an amazing
talent for walking on water. When
pursued by a predator, this lithe lizard
uses its large, paddle-like feet to dash
across the surface. It can travel in this
way for up to 4.5 m (15 ft), covering
1.5 m (5 ft) a second.
