Snakes Are elongate legless carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. Fifteen families are currently recognized comprising 456 genera and over 2,900. They range in size from the tiny, 10 cm long thread snake to pythons and anacondas of up to 7.6 metres - 25 ft in length. |

Turtles Although many turtles spend large amounts of their lives underwater, all turtles and tortoises breathe air, and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs. They can also spend much of their lives on dry land. |
