Viral Video Shows Reptile Walking On Water, Internet Says "What A Remarkable Existence"

The Internet is full of videos that capture the amusing antics of animals. Now, a mind-boggling video showing a reptile walking on water has surfaced on social media and left netizens stunned. 

The clip was shared on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda. It showed a lizard plunging into a water body from the top of a wooden stick. But instead of swimming or floating, the creature is seen standing in the air and flailing its hind limbs, looking like it's walking over the water. 

Watch the video below: 

Explaining the reptile's stunt, Mr Nanda wrote, "Physics at work...Surface tension, the force created when water molecules cling together, becomes dominant, allowing small animals to walk effortlessly over water bodies." 

Internet users were quick to react to the video. While some praised mother nature's astounding creations, others wrote that they are not convinced that the animal was "walking" so effortlessly.

The video accumulated over 30,000 views and hundreds of likes.
