[QUOTE="EvilGM, post: 2285212, member: 4628"] Neighboring water molecules are attracted to one another. Molecules at the surface of liquid water have fewer neighbors and, as a result, have a greater attraction to the few water molecules that are nearby. This enhanced attraction is called surface tension. It makes the surface of the liquid slightly more difficult to break through than the interior. When a small object that would normally sink in water is placed carefully on the surface, it can remain suspended on the surface due to surface tension. The Basilisk lizard makes use of the high surface tension of water to accomplish the incredible feat of walking on water's surface. The Basilisk can't actually walk on water; rather, it runs on water, moving its feet before they break through the surface.
