Reptiles

Reptiles are vertebrate animals, characterized by their special way of moving. Some move by slithering across the ground such as Snakes, some are land animal crawlers such as Lizards and others move through water such as Crocodiles and Sea Turtles. One thing they almost all have in common though is their dry skin that is covered with scales or bony plates and their ability to lay soft-shell eggs.
