The oldest known reptile still alive today is the crocodile.It was an amphibian. There is no major development which i can recall of that allowed them to move on land as they were already capable of doing so. Maybe the origin of terrestrial animals could have led it to find more prey on the land.As according to Darwin's theory of evolution, all animals were first water-borne then came amphibians and then terrestrials and finally avians.

Are all snakes amphibians?

Fish Fish are the class they are in. reptiles have scales are air breathing and typically but not always lay eggs. Snakes are reptiles. Fish are fish. Amphibians are one that breath underwater via gills during the adolescent stage and then the lungs morph to breath regular air. Kill snakeheads, they do not belong in the united states and pose a MAJOR threat to our ecosystem. The Fish and Game Dept. along with all other Wildlife Groups suggest killing them on site. Also just throwing them on shore does NOT always kill them. They are a hardy fish and will survive out of water for a very long time and even "walk" so to speak right back into the water. They are like the piranha. Vicious.


What is the world's most venomous land snake?

The Inland Taipan, also known as the Fierce Snake, has the most toxic venom of all the world's land snakes. The maximum survival time recorded after a Taipan's bite is not more than one hour. The Taipan has three major sub-species: the Western or Inland Taipan ( Oxyuranus Microlepidotus ) or ( Fierce Snake ) , Papuan Taipan ( Oxyuranus s. canni ) and Common or Coastal Taipan ( Oxyuranus Scutellatus ). The Inland Taipan is much more toxic than Oxyuranus Scutellatus and Oxyuranus S. Canni. The maximum yield recorded (from a single bite of Inland Taipan) is 110mg. Just a few mg of Inland Taipan's venom is enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. Australia's Western or Inland Taipan or Fierce Snake is the world's most toxic venomous snake. (Ranked No.1) (see the related link below) (see the related questions on snakes in general)

How did the environment shape the development of North America?

Geography played a major role in the development of agriculture in the colonies. For instance over in the northern colonies (new england) the soil was harsher and led to the development of diverse agriculture and generally smaller farms. Which allowed urban centers and towns to develop. In the South the soil was richer and allowed the planting of tobacco in large plantations, with large plantations people were spread far apart and did not allow for urbanization
