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.)
About Water
Water is by far the most important substance on Earth. Water covers over 70 percent of the planet and makes up between 50 and 75 percent of the human body. In fact, it's one of the only things we are positive needs to be present for life to exist. When scientists look for life in our solar system and on exoplanets, they are looking for liquid water.
