Reptiles, a diverse team of air-breathing vertebrates, are characterised by their scaly pores and skin, amniotic eggs, and ectothermic (cold-blooded) metabolism. These are typically labeled into 4 living orders: Crocodilia (crocodiles and alligators), Sphenodontia (tuataras), Squamata (lizards and snakes), and Testudines (turtles and tortoises). bi
