The bodies of reptiles are adapted to their environments in several key ways. Their tough, scaly skin minimizes water loss, allowing them to thrive in arid habitats. Additionally, their streamlined body shapes enhance movement and camouflage, aiding in both predation and evasion from predators. Furthermore, their ectothermic nature enables them to regulate body temperature through behavioral adaptations, reducing energy expenditure.
