Animals hibernate durring the winter because of shortage of food.
Because in the winter, there is no food for them to find, and some would not be able to stay warm. So they hibernate/ sleep through winter.
Hibernation is a process in which an animal's body temperature is lowered and its heartbeat slowed, in order to conserve energy during times of scarcity and stress.
Each type of animal hibernates in a different way. Squirrels can wake up every four days to grab a bite to eat and take a trip to the bathroom, while black bears can stay dormant, or inactive, for up to seven months with no food, water, or visits to the bathroom.
They have evolved hibernation as a response to environmental conditions, like severe winters.
Most animals hibernate during the winter, in order to lower their body's requirement for food and water in a time where it is scarce. In turtles, the hibernation period is a state of dormancy for their reproductive cycles to develop.
Because they are cold blooded and when the weather gets to cold they cannot move quickly.
because food is low in winter and the temperature is cold
Simply because reptiles cannot regulate their temperature like mammals can. If the weather gets too cold - they'll go into 'suspended animation' until it gets warmer.
amphibians are capable of slowing there heart rate in the winter to hibernate while reptiles can not and amphibians are warm blooded
Brumation is typically reserved for reptiles. Most amphibians are said to hibernate, spending their time resting underwater.
Amphibians do not have scales; reptiles do.
Reptiles have scales and Amphibians do not.
No. Birds and reptiles are separate from amphibians.
No, dinosaurs are more closely related to reptiles than amphibians. Both dinosaurs and reptiles belong to the group called diapsids, which are characterized by having two openings in the skull behind the eye socket. Amphibians, on the other hand, belong to a different group called tetrapods.

No. Reptiles and amphibians are two different orders and animals and amphibians cam first. Simply put, the first amphibians evolved from fish and the first reptiles evolved from amphibians.
No. Amphibians and reptiles are vertebrates and thus have an endoskeleton like we do.
Herpetology is the study of the role of amphibians and reptiles.
Snakes are "Reptiles" not to be confused with "Amphibians"
