Do reptiles cry

Answer 1

Pain is a way of informing an organism that it must change something immediately. It that sense it has terrific survival value, and it is difficult to imagine any creature being able to survive and reproduce without some indication of that kind. Even bacteria and viruses have ways of sensing and reacting to danger.

It is not possible to know what a reptile feels, but it is reasonable to assume that a vertebrate with a nervous system as advanced as a reptile's would feel pain. We do, and we have similar nervous systems. Lacking proof to the contrary, it would be ridiculous to assume otherwise.

Answer 2

no not really it just comes off when frightened

I beg to differ with that answer. Pain perception, that is expecting a reptile (or any other living creature) to behave /react the same way a human would is naive. Please read this article (see related link) by a reptile veterinarian. It's very enlightening. To answer the question specifically, when ever you're asking yourself a question, close your eyes and think how you would feel given the same circumstances. Then imagine you are unable & incapable of reacting in any way that would alert those observing.

Answer 3

Reptiles do not cry emotional tears like humans do because they lack the tear ducts for producing tears to express emotions. However, some reptiles may excrete excess fluid from their eyes due to stress or irritation, but it is not considered crying in an emotional sense.

Answer 4

It is not fully known. Their brains are somewhat similar to fish, and there is great debate on whether fish feel pain or not. However, their brains are somewhat more complex than fish.

Answer 5
