Similarities:
1. Both breath oxygen
2. Both give birth
3. Both have internal organs (heart, lungs, stomach etc.)
Diferences:
1. Since reptiles are cold blooded, they can change their body temperature to keep warm
2. Reptiles lay eggs
3. Mammals have fur (Hair) Reptiles have scales
Hope this helped! :)

Are Alligator repiles?
Yes they are.
What animals have internal reproduction?
Sorry, not fish. But all repiles and birds lay eggs (which is sort of semi-internal) [note there are a few exceptions which have live births {i.e, the egg developes inside}] and all mammals have internal reproduction.
How turtles and snakes are alike?
yes they both has a bite range they both eat meat they both
What did repiles do when they give birth?
Most reptiles lay eggs, and only a few give live birth to their offspring.
Name a lizard ending with the letter o?
Can you have dinosaurs, if you can, ornithomimus.Osage copperhead is a snake.
Are blue crabs mammals repiles or amphibians?
Neither. All crabs are crustaceans.Mammals have fur or hair, are warm blooded and give birth.Reptiles are cold blooded, have scales, lay eggs and have an internal skeleton.Amphibians are cold-blooded, lay eggs and have an internal skeleton with soft skin.Crustaceans are cold blooded, lay eggs and have an external skeleton (shell).
What percentage of Australia's reptiles are though to be endemic?
88.95% of all species of repiles are thought to be endemic. 773 out of 869 known species are thought to be, no one's 100% sure though
Why repiles do not need water for reproduction?
Simply because they reproduce by means of internal fertilization. The embryos either develop externally inside a soft-shelled egg, or internally in the female reptile.
How many babies can painted turtles have at a time?
Turtle don't give birth. They are repiles and lay eggs, some can lay up to 1000 at a time.
Are tourtoise repiles or amphibians?
It's an amphibian becuase...most reptiles cannot survive underwater and since it grows legs and lungs later on then yes it is an amphibion XD
What is a Placochelys dinosaur?
Acutally, Placochelys was a placodont, not a dinosaur. Placodonts are a group of strange, aquatic repiles that resemble many modern reptiles but aren't related to them or to dinosaurs. A Placochelys looked like a sea turtle, but with huge buck teeth for crushing the shells of aquatic creatures and big bony armor plates on its back (like ankylosaurus). This armor protected it from the few other predators of the time, but made it a slow swimmer; it needed to live in shallow water close to shore so it didn't drown. Placochelys lived in the Late Triassic, when the first dinosaurs had just evolved and the land was ruled by the early crocodiles and their relatives. The slow and heavy placodonts were being replaced by swifter aquatic reptiles like the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. The Triassic Period ended with a fairly large extinction event that killed off many groups of animals including the placodonts.
What was the largest aquatic reptile?
The present day saltwater crocodile can reach lengths of 6 meters (20 feet) comparded to the other fearsome reptile, the Komodo dragons 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft), the croc comes out an easy winner. When prehistoric animals are considered, Deinosuchus (an ancient crocodile), measuring up to 12 m (40 ft) and weighing up to 8.5 metric tons beats out all it modern relatives.But beating all comers was Kronosaurus (12.8 m long (42 ft) long). It was probably the largest marine reptile that ever lived. It was a plesiosaur, a meat-eating marine reptile living in the Late Cretaceous Period. Similar sized snakes prowled the Amazon area back in those days as well.Do not confuse dinosaur s with repiles hover. These grew much bigger but were a different species entirely.
