Whoa, that's why a basilisk can hang out like that.

'Cause he has a quick escape.

He's walking on water!

Woo-hoo!

Running up river!

Whoa, check out those big claw feet splashing away.

That's what I'm going to call him: Splash Claw!

Cool name.

He ran over 5 feet per second on the water.

That's fast.

Yeah.

Wait a second, that's the same as 5 miles per hour.

Humans run that fast.

You're right.

We could run that fast.

So, if we do, maybe we can cross the river too!

Hmm.

On your mark, get set, go!

Ah!

Well, that didn't work.

Speed's important but it's definitely not foot speed alone that makes the basilisk walk on water.

Maybe it's the size of those wide-backed feet.

They're way bigger than the rest of him.

And it's those feet that he was water-walking on.

Oh!

I have another water-walking trick up my sleeve.

Actually, in my backpack.

Snowshoes?

In the rainforest?

Hey, you might be more organized, but I'm better prepared.

On your mark, get set, go.

Well, at least we got a few more steps before we sunk.

Hey, where'd the basilisk go?

We can't learn the mystery of water walking without him.

Hey, guys, there's definitely more to the basilisk water-walking powers than foot speed or foot size.

We're analyzing your footage and we think we're on to something.

What?

It's like someone is trying to intercept our communications.

That's weird.

Let me try again.

Ah!

Lost it!

And we lost the basilisk.

This mission is in trouble.
