Book Synopsis
Reptiles are a group of animals that includes turtles, snakes, crocodiles, alligators, and lizards. These animals share some things in common. They have skin that is covered in scales; they keep their body at the right temperature by lying in the sun to stay warm or in the shade to cool off. Most reptiles lay eggs that have soft leathery shells, while others give birth to live babies. Many reptiles live on land, and some, like crocodiles, live much of their life in water. Some reptiles, like the sea turtle, spend all their time in the ocean, only coming out on land to lay eggs. It is fascinating to study the many different types of reptiles.
