Reptiles are cold-blooded, terrestrial vertebrates covered in scales that breathe through lungs and lay eggs. They can live both on land and in water, and while most are carnivorous, their hearts have a unique structure with two atria and one ventricle. Specific interesting facts are that baby snakes are more venomous than adults, a chameleon's tongue can double its body size, and reptile eggs develop inside an amniotic sac filled with liquid.
