What is the difference between dinosaurs and reptiles?

Answer 1

The word dinosaur means "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were reptiles, meaning that they had no fur and hatched from eggs. They were closely related to lizards, but were really very different. There are many differences, but the main one lies where you'd least expect it. It is the way their legs join to their hips. It sounds funny, but if you think about it really, it is true. If you look at a lizard, you'll notice that their legs are in a kind of squatted position, with the legs going out to the side. A dinosaurs legs, however, go straight down, much like our own. So, that is how you can tell the difference between a dinosaur and a reptile.

Answer 2

Reptiles and and amphibians are two different types of animals. though there are many similarities between these two types of animals. Major difference between reptiles and amphibians include the following.

1. Different species of reptiles live on land, in water, or both on land and in water. However, all amphibians are born in water and spend early part of their lives in water in form of larvae. Through a process of metamorphosis the larvae of amphibians grow into adults which are quite different from the larvae. The adults usually live on land, however some may live on land as well as in water.
2. All reptiles breathe only through lungs, and this includes juveniles. However, young amphibians breathe through gills. Adults breathe through lungs. Some adults may have gills also. In addition, amphibians breathe through openings in their skins and mouth.
3. Reptiles have a scaly skins. Amphibians do not have scales on their skin. In general they have a smooth, moist body. Some amphibians have a rough leathery skin.
4. Reptiles are generally bigger in size than amphibians.
5. Reptiles include four groups of animals - lizards and snakes, turtles and tortoises, crocodilians, and tuatara. Amphibians include three groups of animals - frogs and toads, salamanders and caecillians.
6. Amphibians undergo metamorphosis, meaning the juveniles are qute different in appearance and shape from the adult amphibians, and their bidy undergoes significant change. Young reptiles resemble smaller versions of their parents.

the environment reptiles live in dryer environments while amphibians live in wet environments
Respiration using lungs

The above is not strictly correct. Adult amphibians breathe using lungs. One of the main differences between amphibians and reptiles is that juvenile amphibians undergo metamorphosis, during which they change from using gills for respiration to using lungs.

Another major difference is that reptiles have scaly skin, while amphibians have moist skin, not scaly.
amphibians have dual life ... water and land while reptiles don't have
All amphibians start life in the water, and all reptiles start life on land. (short answer)
The primary difference is in the egg, reptiles lay thick shelled eggs that have an amnion protecting the embryo, this difference of having an amnion sharply separates reptiles, birds, and mammals from fish and amphibians.

Reptiles also have thick skin while amphibians have thin skin.

Reptiles sometimes have scales and amphibians usually have smooth skin, but some reptiles (particularly Crocodylians) do not have true scales, and some amphibians (particularly toads) have rough, warty skin.
An anfibian can live in water and on land. a reptile can't
Amphibians develop in water, and reptiles do not. Reptiles have scutes wich amphibians lack.
Reptiles have scales and Amphibians have smooth skin.

An animal is classed as a reptile if it:

Has scales;

Lays hard eggs instead of live young;

Doesn't suckle its young.

An amphibian:

Lives both on land and in water;

Lays soft eggs;

Has soft, damp skin.

The differences being the skin texture, habits and the eggs.

Reptiles have scales and Amphibians have smooth skin.

The difference between reptiles and amphibians is that reptiles have rough skin and amphibians have slimmy slippery skin.Reptiles are also different from amphibians because reptiles were here longer than amphibians.
amphibians have smooth and moist skin however reptiles have dry and scaly scales.
Reptiles begin their lives on land, whereas Amphibians begin their lives in water.
Amphibians are able to go both in water and land but reptiles stick to land
Amphibians can breathe under water while reptiles can't, I'm not for sure about this but that's my guess.
they aren't in the same group.
Reptiles and amphibians belong to the same Kingdom (Animalia) and Phylum (Chordata) but are different Classes altogether.

Reptiles most likely evolved from amphibians some 300 million years ago. They live on land, mostly, and breath air with lungs, though things like sea-snakes and alligators (Reptiles) do live in water. Reptiles lay eggs with a tough shell.

Amphibians are more water-dependent, and usually lay their eggs in water. Examples are frogs and salamanders.

Also, reptiles have scales. Very few amphibians have scale-like skin.

Although they share common ancestry (we all do, actually, all life on earth...), they are different groups of animals!
amphibians and reptiles are both same but the difference are amphibians spend thier time on water when they are young and when they are growing older spend thier time on land while reptiles thier bodies are covered with scale or plates
Reptiles and amphibians are rather different. Reptiles have dry, scaly skin, breathe through lungs, and are often found on land. In contrast, amphibians have scaleless, often slimy skin, are found in water before moving to land, and often can breathe without the use of lungs, or don't even have lungs.
Amphibians breathe through their skin and live on both land and in water. Reptiles have scaly skin and live mostly on land except for exceptions such as crocodiles, turtles and iguanas.
The difference between an amphibian and a reptile are the following:

• reptiles don't have webbed feet, amphibians do
• reptiles have hard scaly skin, amphibians have soft and slimy skin
• amphibians live in water most of the time where as reptiles don't but other than that they are really close to being the same
• amphibians are animals which live on both land and water and have lungs and also pores in there skin to breath through frog

Herepetology Herepetology
The main noticeable difference is their skin. Reptiles have thousands of overlapping scales loosely connected to each other. Amphibians have a breathable one-piece skin.

Answer 3

Reptiles are scaled and while some (like marine iguanas) are aquatic they still lay leathery eggs that areincubated out of water.

Amphibians have smooth, scaleless skins and lay their eggs in water.

Answer 4

a reptile is a animal but a mammal is a warm blooded animal.everything living besides plants is an animal.

Answer 5

Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles who lived millions of years ago.
