In today's world, mammals control the planet.
But not long ago, it was the reptiles who ruled our world. Along with
their cousins, the amphibians, they still roam the earth and survive
not much differently than they did when they ruled. Like all animals,
they have rules: find something to eat, pass own th genes, and not get
eaten.Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates. Like all cold-blooded animals they are clawed and get their heat from the sun. They are sluggish until their body heats rises. They are distinguished by being protected by scales or a bony-plate. Their survival is owed to their ability to make amazing adaptations to live in inhospitible places on earth.
Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates with smooth skin and no claws. They lay eggs just like reptiles. But, they are distinguished by their adaptation of living in two worlds. The first part of their life is lived in the water where the eggs are laid. After becoming a tadpole that swims, they metamorphosize into a land animal.
On this website, the lives of these astounding amphibians and remarkable reptiles with be featured.
