WHAT DOES REPTILE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

reptile

Reptile

Reptiles, the class Reptilia, are an evolutionary grade of animals, comprising today’s turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara, as well as many extinct groups. A reptile is any amniote that is neither a mammal nor a bird. Unlike mammals, birds, and certain extinct reptiles, living reptiles have scales or scutes and are cold-blooded. Advocates of phylogenetic nomenclature regard the traditional category ‘Reptilia’ to be invalid, and prefer to use the ‘Amniota’ or rather ‘Sauropsida’ category, because not all descendants of a common ancestor are included. However, in practice, these non-cladistic classifications, such as reptile, fish, and amphibian, remain in use by some biologists, especially in popular books written for a general audience. The historically combined study of reptiles and amphibians is called herpetology. The earliest known reptiles originated around 315 million years ago during the Carboniferous period, having evolved from advanced reptile-like amphibians that became increasingly adapted to life on dry land.


Definition of reptile in the English dictionary

The first definition of reptile in the dictionary is any of the cold-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Reptilia, characterized by lungs, an outer covering of horny scales or plates, and young produced in amniotic eggs. The class today includes the tortoises, turtles, snakes, lizards, and crocodiles; in Mesozoic times it was the dominant group, containing the dinosaurs and related forms. Other definition of reptile is a grovelling insignificant person. Reptile is also creeping, crawling, or squirming.

A reptile is one of those mostly scaly and slimy animals that are cold-blooded and have backbones. Lizards and turtles? Yep — both reptiles. Puppies and kittens? No way.

There are many classes of animals. People are part of the mammal class. Another class is reptiles, which are all cold-blooded vertebrates (meaning they have backbones). Snakes, turtles, tortoises, lizards, alligators, chameleons, geckos, skinks, and crocodiles are all reptiles. You’ll see plenty of reptiles at the zoo, and you’ll see replicas of some at a natural history museum — since dinosaurs were reptiles!
