Reptiles encyclopedia
Explore the 62 Animalpedia species classified as reptiles: characteristics, diet, habitat, behaviour and conservation status.
Reptiles are vertebrate animals whose skin is covered with scales or horny plates. They breathe with lungs and do not regulate their internal temperature: they depend on the warmth of their surroundings, which explains their strong presence in hot regions. Most lay eggs. The group brings together tortoises and turtles, lizards and geckos, snakes and crocodiles.
