Reptiles have been around for millions of years and once

were the most common vertebrate animals on Earth. Today,

reptiles are divided into four main groups: turtles and

tortoises; lizards and snakes; crocodiles and alligators; and

the tuatara. A tuatara looks like a lizard, but it isn't. It's a

species’left ’ver from a group of reptiles as old as dinosaurs.

It is the closest thing to a living dinosaur. Tuataras live only

in New Zealand and are in danger of becoming extinct.

Some reptiles spend most of their time in water. But most

species live on land. All have scaly skin to protect them.

Reptiles are found in all habitats except polar ice and the

tundra.

Reptiles usually lay their eggs in nests or holes dug in the

ground. But some snakes, like rattlesnakes let the eggs

hatch inside the body and give birth to live babies. Female

crocodiles are very good mothers. They guard the nest and

even help the hatchlings get a start in life. Some snakes do

this, too. But most reptiles lay their eggs and leave. The

hatchlings, which are perfect miniature copies of their

parents, are on their own.
