Reptile Characteristics

Ectothermic Vertebrates ~ Cold blooded with a backbone. Organisms temperature varies with outside temperature.

Best sense is sightHave dry scaly skin, no hair or feathers3 chambered heart (except crocodilians – have 4)Breathe with lungs5 Claws on their legs (except snakes and legless lizards)Amniotic egg ~ first animals to lay eggs on land

Leatherback Turtle

Leatherbacks are endangered and highly studied. Scientists are trying to learn all about them to help save them and restore their populations
