Reptiles are not only deadly and numerous, they are also creatures who have some of the most bizarre behaviours in the world. Inhabiting every single land mass with the exception of Antarctica, reptiles are everywhere. Reptiles are generally classified into four main groups: crocodiles and alligators, lizards, snakes, turtles and tortoises. They’are all cold-blooded, which means they rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature. They also have cool, dry skin which is either scaly or joined together with bony plates. Reptiles are also not very hands-on in their parenting style. Though alligators raise their young over a period of two years they are the exception and not the rule. Generally, reptiles lay their eggs in a simple nest and then abandon their young. Reptiles are also masters of disguise, using camouflage as a mechanism for self-defence often. Join us as we explore the weird and wonderful world of reptiles; their habits, behaviours and some of the strange methods they use to keep themselves safe.
