Reptiles have been around for 300 million years, and during the age of the dinosaurs, they ruled the Earth. Those days are long gone, and those giants have vanished, but some 6,500 species of reptiles still thrive today. Crocodiles, snakes, lizards, and turtles are all reptiles. Most reptiles live on land, and most lay eggs. They are vertebrates, and, unlike any other animals, are covered in scales. They are cold-blooded, and regulate their body temperature by seeking or avoiding the sun's heat.

The term reptile is loosely defined in everyday English to mean scaly, cold-blooded, egg-laying animals. In cladistics (a way of classifying life forms), the reptiles are more strictly defined and include the descendants of the most recent common ancestor of the turtles, lepidosaurs (lizards, snakes, tuataras), and archosaurs (crocodilians, dinosaurs, and birds). The maintenance of body temperature (cold- vs. warm-blooded) is not a factor in this classification, but skull and egg structure are.

4. Reptiles, Reptile, Reptiles And Amphibians At LiveScience.com LiveScience.com explains reptiles,reptile,reptiles and amphibians,reptile habitat and reptile picture. http://www.livescience.com/reptiles/

All About Reptiles Found on every continent except for Antarctica , nearly 8000 species of reptiles walk, crawl, slither and swim in their own unique ways. Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures, meaning they are incapable of maintaining a consistent body temperature on their own. They rely on the things around them to warm up or cool down. Their ability to move warm blood into the body core allows them to conserve energy. There are four reptile orders in existence today. Crocodilia refer to animals like crocodiles and alligators. Squamata refers to lizards, snakes and similar creatures. All turtles are included in the Testudines order. The order Rhynchocephalia contains only two species known as tuataras, native to New Zealand. A reptile habitat varies greatly from one species to the next. Because reptiles are so diverse and have adapted to so many different climates, the areas they strive in also differ greatly. Like amphibians, reptiles often make their home around water and lay eggs. But reptiles and amphibians also differ in many ways. Reptiles lay their eggs on land, have waterproof skin, and can rarely breathe underwater. Amphibians lay their eggs in water, have permeable skin, and can often breathe underwater.

Reptile Industry Americans spend over 5 billion dollars each year on reptiles and their supplies. Many of us have no idea where these animals are coming from or what types of methods were used to transfer those animals into the United States. The next question is how do wholesale dealers in the US house thousands of these wild, captured reptiles once they arrive? Most wholesalers do not have a proper way to house these animals and use old Watering Tubs , so many die either right away or shortly after they are shipped to retailers. (cont.)

Tuatara Animal Bytes: Reptiles What is a reptile? Reptiles are vertebrates , they have scaly skin that keeps their bodies from drying out, their young do not go through a larva stage like amphibians, but instead look like small versions of the adults when they hatch. Reptiles are ectotherms , so they must bask in the sun or find a warm spot to get warm and become active, and they must find shade or a cool spot to cool off. In cold conditions they become sluggish and don't move around much, and some enter a state of torpor or hibernation if it will be cold for a long time. Reptile groups There are four main groups of reptiles: turtles and tortoises; lizards and snakes; crocodiles and alligators; and the tuatara, the only species left from an ancient group of reptiles that goes back to the dinosaurs. Some reptiles spend most of their time in water, like crocodiles, alligators, turtles, some species of snakes, and some species of lizards. Many spend their time on land, and reptile species can be found in all types of

Reptiles (including birds!) are amniotes; that is, their eggs are protected from dessication and other environmental problems by an extra membrane, the amnion, not found in the first terrestrial vertebrates (amphibians). Mammals ( Mammalia ) are also amniotes, but they differ from reptiles in the structure of their skulls (especially the regions associated with chewing and hearing). Mammals also have hair and feed their young with milk produced by modified skin glands (mammary glands). In addition to being amniotes, all reptiles have (or did have, in their evolutionary history) horny epidermal scales made of a particular kind of protein, paired limbs with 5 toes, skulls with a single occipital condyle, lungs instead of gills for respiration, and a 3 or 4 chambered heart. Their eggs are covered with a leathery or calcium-based shell (partially or completely lost in some species that give birth to live young), and fertilization occurs inside the female, rather than outside, as it does in most amphibians. Members of Reptilia generally share many additional traits, for example in their nervous and excretory systems, locomotion, and reproduction.

15. Reptiles: Animals With Scales reptiles are often called coldblooded because they can t regulate their own body temperature. Their body temperature depends on the external temperature. http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/Animals/Reptiles.htm

Reptiles: Lizards, Snakes, and Others The most noticeable feature of reptiles are the scales that cover their body. Although reptiles breathe through lungs, some reptiles can also absorb oxygen in water through membranes in their mouth. Reptiles are often called cold-blooded because they can't regulate their own body temperature. Their body temperature depends on the external temperature. Crocodiles and alligators are large amphibious reptiles. They can walk on land using their webbed feet. They can also use their long tail to swim in water. Crocodiles feed on large animals they catch on land or in water. They have powerful jaws and teeth to tear apart their prey. Lizards and snakes are the largest group of reptiles. Lizards are four legged animals with a long tail. Many lizards can shed their tail to escape from predators. They can then grow a new tail. Some lizards, such as the chameleon, can change colors to blend into their environment. This camouflage helps to protect them from predators. Snakes don't have limbs. They move by slithering along the ground.

16. Reptiles Of Kansas Currently, there are about 6500 recognized species of reptiles in the world, divided into 5 living orders. Within Kansas 67 species are recorded from 16 http://www.gpnc.org/reptiles.htm

Reptiles Are Vertebrate animals. They have an internal bony skeleton. Are cold-blooded. They cannot maintain their body temperature by internal means. Have a dry, scaly skin or a shell. Lay eggs with a tough outer shell, or have live birth. The eggs have an internal membrane called the amnion which helps protect the developing embryo from injury and drying out. In some species of snakes, the eggs hatch internally and the young are born live. Lay their eggs on land. Have claws on their toes (excepting snakes). Currently, there are about 6,500 recognized species of reptiles in the world, divided into 5 living orders. Within Kansas 67 species are recorded from 16 families in 2 orders. Classification of living organisms has undergone a profound revolution within the last thirty years due to the advent of DNA analysis and the new taxonomic discipline of cladistics, which does not necessarily use the classical Linnean hierarchy (Kingdom-Phylum-Class-Order-Family-Genus-Species) to sort out how creatures are related to each other. The position of turtles, for instance, is a contentious issue currently. For more information, see the link to the Tree of Life website in the resource list The species list below is based on "A Checklist of the Vertebrate Animals of Kansas", 3rd edition, 2005, by George Potts and Joseph Collins.
