Reptiles!

I was surrounded by reptiles as I was sitting in my chair. Reptiles are an extremly cool group of animals to learn about. A few things that all reptiles have in common is that they are cold blooded, they shed, and they have scales. Some kinds of reptiles are turtles, snakes, lizards, and alligators. The first animal that we were shown was a tourtise, or a kind of turtle. It was a very slow mover and had a giant shell. It also had stubby legs that were covered with scales. The next animal that we were shown was a snake. It was a long phython, that gently wrapped around the womens arms. The color of ot was brown, and it was small and skinny. After that, we were shown two different types of lizards. The first one was a long one with spikes on top and very sharp teeth. The next one was a lot different because it was a legless lizard that looked like a snake. By far, my favorite animal was a tourtise. All of the animals that I saw today tought me a lot more about reptiles, and how they live.
