Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia

• Basilisks are one of the few modern animals included in Jurassic Saga, serving as a source of Basilisk Eggs needed for hatching small dinosaurs.
• The real-world basilisk can run on water for short distances by rapidly slapping its feet on the surface, creating air pockets that prevent it from sinking.
• Basilisk Eggs are used to hatch small reptiles like Compsognathus and Microceratus.
