REPTILES
INTRODUCTION TO REPTILES
 Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates covered in scales.
 They descended from tetra pods, the ancestors of all four-
footed animals, and first appeared over 300 million years
ago.
 Reptiles come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from
tiny geckos to massive crocodiles.
 Reptile is a member of class Reptilia. It is a group of air-
breathing vertebrates that has internal fertilization and
epidermal scale covering part of their body.
 They are found on all continents except Antarctica and
play important roles in their ecosystems
DIVERSITY OF REPTILES
There are four main groups of reptiles: turtles, lizards, snakes,
and crocodilians
Turtles have shells that protect their bodies
Lizards have a wide range of body shapes and sizes, including
legless forms like snakes
Snakes are all legless, but they have evolved many adaptations
to compensate, such as powerful muscles and specialized jaws
Crocodilians include crocodiles, alligators, gavials, and
caimans, all of which are large predators with thick hides and
powerful jaws
ADAPTATIONS OF REPTILES
Reptiles have many adaptations that help them
survive in a variety of environments.
Their scales protect them from predators,
dehydration, and harsh weather.
Cold-bloodedness allows them to conserve
energy in cold environments.
Many reptiles have specialized senses, such as
keen eyesight and smell, that help them hunt for
food.
Some reptiles, like chameleons, can change color
to camouflage themselves.

adaptations, such as a turtle shell, a lizard's
camouflage, and a snake's forked tongue for scent
detection
THREATS TO REPTILES
.

 Reptiles face many threats today, including habitat loss, climate change, and
invasive species.
 Humans are also a major threat, through hunting, pollution, and the wildlife trade.
 It is important to protect reptiles and their habitats so that they can continue to
thrive.
