Reptile Facts

  • Reptiles are cold-blooded. However, scientists use different terms. They use “ectothermic” for “cold-blooded” and “endothermic” for “warm-blooded.”
  • Most reptiles are carnivores, and eat whole prey or insects. Some reptiles (adult green iguanas, for example), are herbivores and eat green plants.
  • The age of reptiles was ended by a meteor. Only 4% of species survived to repopulate the world.
