Why are there no large reptiles in cold countries?
Large reptiles cannot regulate their body temperature as efficiently in cold environments, leading to decreased metabolism, slowed digestion, and reduced activity. This makes it difficult for them to thrive in colder climates. Additionally, many reptiles rely on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature, which may be scarce in colder regions.
What usually happens to reptiles when the temperature cool's?
While reptiles generally thrive in temperate and warmer climates, there are certain species that have adapted too much colder environments. Temperature can also determine whether a reptile is diurnal or nocturnal. In other words, temperature affects the eating habits of reptiles.

What type environment do sea otters live?
