The Philippine Sailfin Lizard (Hydrosaurus pustulatus) is endemic to The Philippines. It is a ‘Water Walker’ like the Basilisk (Basiliscus) Lizard. The actual Sailfin lizard in these photos arrived in my garden after walking on water from the mangroves near by. As it is a vulnerable species, we returned it to it’s habitat, but the next day it came to my neighbors garden. We again brought it back to the mangrove area and I observed it swimming under water.
