REPTILES


Lizards, snakes, tortoises...
All reptiles breathe through lungs and have skin covered with scales.
Most of them live on land and walk using their legs.
However, some reptiles are different:

  • Snakes have no legs and they slither.
  • Tortoises and turtles have a hard shell to protect their body. Turtles are aquatic, but they breathe oxygen from the air.
  • Crocodiles are protected by bony scutes where their scales are very thick.
