Reptiles are a cold-blooded class of animals, typically identified by being covered in scales.
The most typical reptile is probably the lizard, of which there are many kinds. More specialised reptiles include snakes (which lack legs), tortoises (which are protected by a thick shell), and crocodiles (which have bony plates under their scales).
Dragons often have reptilian features.
Reptiles are one of the oldest forms of animal life on Earth coming from dinosaurs, meaning "terrible lizards".
