So what makes a reptile a reptile?
Reptiles are cold-blooded. Being cold-blooded means that their bodies react to the temperature of their surroundings. When they get too warm, they can go into the water or shade to cool off.
Reptiles are covered in scales. Scales protect their bodies. Scales can be hard or soft, large or small.
Some reptiles lay eggs, while others have live young.
Some examples of reptiles are: crocodiles, alligators, geckos, lizards, turtles, tortoises, snakes, chameleons, and iguanas.
