Introduction

If you’ve ever found yourself staring into the eyes of a lizard, snake or tortoise and wondered what was going on in their minds, this article is for you. We’ll break down the fascinating world of reptiles by looking at some common species and shedding light on how they evolved over time.

The word reptile refers to a class of animals, which includes many extinct and living species.

Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay amniotic eggs with hard shells. They have scales, which are made of keratin (the same protein that makes up human hair and nails). Reptiles are vertebrates, meaning they have backbones.

Reptiles can be found on every continent except Antarctica, with over 6,000 species known today. The word reptile refers to a class of animals that includes many extinct and living species–from snakes and lizards to crocodiles and turtles–but not birds or mammals

Reptiles are cold-blooded, have scales and lay amniotic eggs with hard shells, although some types hatch their eggs internally.

Reptiles are cold-blooded, have scales and lay amniotic eggs with hard shells. While some types of reptiles hatch their eggs internally and others externally, the process is similar for all species.

The first step in hatching an egg is for it to be fertilized by sperm from the male reptile’s gonads or testes. The next step is for the embryo (the developing organism inside an egg) to begin dividing into cells that form organs and other body parts needed for life outside of its protective shell once it hatches. This process continues until there are enough cells present to function as a complete organism; at this point, your pet snake’s eyes will start opening up at around seven days after being laid–right about when you’ll start noticing movement inside your incubator!

Reptiles are fascinating creatures that can help us better understand our world and the way nature works.

Reptiles have been around for millions of years and are a diverse group of animals, found on every continent except Antarctica. They can be found in deserts, forests and even underwater! Reptiles have adapted to survive in many different environments.

There are over 10,000 species of reptiles around the world today, including snakes (like cobras), lizards (like chameleons) and turtles. In fact there are so many types that some scientists say there may be as many as 200 new species discovered each year!

Conclusion

Reptiles are fascinating creatures that can help us better understand our world and the way nature works. They are also an important part of the ecosystem because they provide food for many other animals. Even if you don’t think reptiles are cool, at least give them a chance!
