Class Reptilia
7000 species “Turtles, crocodilians, snakes & lizards
Tough, dry skin covered with scales composed of keratin to protect against drying out and injuries.

Class Reptilia
The skin must be shed periodically to allow for the animal to grow.
Reptile lungs are better developed than amphibians and responsible for almost all gas exchanges.

Amniotic Egg
Internal fertilization since the shelled eggs must be fertilized before they are enclosed.
A shelled egg contains food and protective membranes to support embryonic development.
Reptiles lay eggs on land, which hatch into lung breathing juveniles.
The egg has broken the amphibian link to the water more than any other adaptation.

Order Testudines “Turtles”Marine turtles have paired limbs modified into flippers and can grow to 2 meters in length weighing 700 pounds.
Giant land tortoises can weigh hundreds of kilograms and their low metabolic rate produces life spans exceeding 150 years.
Box turtles have a hinged plastron that allows full protection of their body.
Snapping turtles have reduced shells that don’t enclose the whole body, but the fierce jaws are a good defense.
