  1. Reptiles By Andre and Austin

  2. Reptilians • Today we will talk about reptiles ( reptilians.) • Other people, like scientists, call them reptilian.

  3. What are reptiles and how are they different • Reptiles are animals with scales for skin .A frog may look like a reptile but it is an amphibian because it does not have scales.

  4. Habitat • Some are from the water, desserts, rainforests, trees, and in caves. • Actually there is no specific habitat for reptiles they can live almost anywhere but anywhere near Antarctica. They are cold blooded so they can create their own heat in the cold. But their habitat must have heat and protection. They would be seen on a rock warming them selves by the sun.

  6. Reproduction • Some reptiles lay eggs and others give birth. • When the reptile is laying the egg this called Oviposition. • Reptiles that give birth are called viviparous or viviparity. • A female who carries eggs are called gravid. • A reptile needs a mate in order to reproduce.

  7. Food and Eating • They eat rats, rodents, other reptiles, birds, insects, arthropods, and eggs. • Snakes have to digest bigger objects very slowly then spit it out. • For herbivores ( mainly turtles and tortoises ) they eat leaves and insects. • Omnivores are just like both herbivore and carnivore diets. • Reptiles do produce urine because people wouldn’t notice the wet stuff on the dung.

  8. MORE ABOUT FOOD AND EATING!!! • If a snake sees bigger prey they first bite it to put a hole in the skin, then release poison so it could travel into the skin, that’s the time when they eat the prey. • They don’t chew, they just swallow.

  9. Skin • Reptiles at least shed their skin once a month. • Their skin are covered with layers of scales. • They have something on their scales called keratin. • Snakes for example are covered with keratin.

  10. Digestion • Reptiles can easily digest meat but with any other food it will be hard for them to digest.( well for some other reptiles they slowly digest) • If you noticed reptiles lack teeth (excluding alligators and crocodiles) so that’s why they can digest meat easily. • They eat pebbles to help digest their food.

  11. Reptile examples: • Here are two reptiles that are very poisonous. • Python • Taipan

  12. Fun Facts • The green anaconda is the most heaviest snake in the world because it can weigh about 500 pounds. • Baby reptiles can speak to call for their mother. • Most reptile eggs are left behind except for alligator eggs the mothers take care of them. • The king cobra is the most dangerous and intelligent reptile in the world. • People say a turtle is a mollusk. WRONG!!! Turtles have backbones, so they don’t belong with the mollusks.
