I thought you might be interested in learning about #Reptiles then you and your friends and family can celebrate October 21st which Reptile Awareness Day #ReptileAwarenessDay. Just remember I will go with you to the Zoo for the kids to see Reptiles in person but I refuse to go inside the #Snake house. How about you?
Reptiles are tetrapod animals in the class Reptilia, comprising today’s turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct relatives. The study of these traditional reptile orders, historically combined with that of modern amphibians, is called herpetology.
