Are there any warm blooded reptiles in the world?
New evidence shows that reptiles roaming the oceans at the time of the dinosaurs could maintain a constant body temperature well above that of the surrounding water. There may be similar reptiles alive today in the depths of the ocean but modern reptiles are cold blooded.

About Reptiles
Reptiles are animals in the class Reptilia. Reptiles breath air, lay eggs, have skin covered in scales, have four legs and are cold blooded. Reptiles are further broken down into four different orders: crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials, caimans, and alligators,) sphenodontia (tuataras from New Zealand,) squamata (lizards, snakes, and worm lizards,) and testudines (turtles and tortoises.)
