Can reptiles breath in water

Answer 1

Birds can pant. They do so similar to the way that dogs do. They open their beaks when they pant. Birds also keep cool in other ways. They have a rapid respiration rate that helps them to stay cool. They also use water to cool off.

Answer 2

No reptiles don't pant While basking, reptiles will lie perpendicular to the direction of the sun to maximize the amount of sunlight falling on their skin. They will also expand their rib cage to increase their surface area and will darken their skin to absorb more heat. When a reptile is too hot, it will lie parallel to the sun's rays, go into a shady area, open its mouth wide, lighten its skin color or burrow into cool soil.

Answer 3

Snakes are cold blooded creatures. That's a misnomer, they are not in reality cold blooded, there is no such thing. They belong to a group of animals that allows the surrounding temperature to control body and blood heat. The movement of the tongue, or panting, is how the snake detects smells. Molecules of nearby matter land on the tongue and are drawn in to the mouth to analyse. The tonge comes out to gather more. The snake is merely testing the air for tasty morsels.

Answer 4

They do not, reptiles are cold-blooded animals and as such have no bodily means of controlling their tempretures. If their blood becomes to warm they look for shade, or to cold and a warm rock in a sunny spot looks good.
