A bailisk lizard literally runs on the waters surface. How? "Its right leg sweeps back and inward in a movement that is very similar to the crawl stroke when swimming" . The result is an S-shaped movement as it thrusts forward. Comments?

I think these are the lizards that run on 2 legs when crossing water. The are pretty upright in posture. The rear legs are far larger than the forelegs. They just kind of hold their "arms" in a position that is not too different from what humans do.
And they have pretty large back feet.
The creatures weigh all of a few ounces. If humans were to do this, they would have to have tremendous leg strength and HUGE feet!
