Reptiles are quite extraordinary
Reptiles are truly amazing creatures. There
are a great variety of reptiles; some are dangerous and others are harmless.
Reptiles are cold blooded, which means that
their body temperatures vary from where they are, therefore, they can survive
in all environments. Reptiles have scales instead of skin to make them
waterproof. All reptiles lay eggs to protect their young.
Snakes have special type of scales under
them called scutes. Scutes are the
scales that make it possible for snakes to slither on the ground. Another type
of reptile namely the chameleon has a tongue that is two and a half times
longer than its own body size. The top shell is called the caropus and the bottom shell is called the plasdrawn. Tortoises’ shells protect their vulnerable bodies from
predators.
As you can see reptiles are quite
extraordinary animals.
