A proper reptile to begin with is a vertebrate animal. It has scales , breathes air , not water, characteristically lays shelled eggs an depends on outside sources for its heat and warmth. There are in the world and on the globe only five main animals that fit into this group and grouping. They are in sequence – turtles , lizards , the snakes the crocodillians and the most strange and odd including a strange little creature called the tuatara , which somehow looks remarkably like a lizard but is not. Indeed tuatara , a native creature of New Zealand is in grave danger of becoming extinct.
In this latest range of geologic history. there are approximately 6,000 species of reptiles scattered around the earth. Though reptiles are most diverse as well as numerous in warmer climes and regions . they range as far northward as well turning up as far north as Sweden, Siberia as well as other colder climates that you would think would not harbor and sustain these creatures. Reptiles as well inhabit desert areas of the planet.
