How does the Basilisk Lizard Walk on Water?

The Basilisk lizard, AKA the Jesus lizard, are found in the Tropical Rain Forest of Central & South America and they are finding a passage to the US.  They have a unique ability from all other animals; they can walk on water.  This is possible due to the flaps between their toes that support them above the water as they are rapidly moving across, keeping their head up.  As you watch the video below, you can see how the lizard is able to balance themselves along with keeping up their speed.
