Snakes, lizards, and turtles are all kinds of reptiles. There are about 8,000 different types of reptiles in all. Reptiles live wherever the climate is warm enough. These animals cannot heat their own bodies and rely on warm surroundings to survive.
Alligators and crocodiles are among the largest reptiles. Each can be bigger than a person—and could eat one, too! Most other reptiles are much smaller. Some lizards are so small that one could fit on your fingertip.













Turtles and tortoises have a hard shell made of bone. The shell can be bumpy or smooth.
