Are all dinosaurs reptiles?
All reptiles are diapsids. Mammals (like you and I) are, in contrast, synapsids. So in that respect all reptiles are alike. However, I would not say they were all alike. Snakes are reptiles but lack limbs. Alligators are also reptiles, as are lizards. Tuatara, gavials, amphisbaenids, and tortoises each represent one of the four main modern orders of reptiles. They share some characteristics--just as you and I do, but I would not say they were all alike.

Was the mesozoic an mammal?
Mesozoic is a geological era, referring to the era lasting from around 250 million years ago up til about 65 million years ago. It is also sometimes called the Age of Reptiles because dinosaurs were the main animal at the time. This particular era includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. Mesozoic basically translates as middle life, and is the era between the Paleozoic and Cenozoic eras of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Mesozoic era is centred between two mass extinctions, the Permian-Triassic event and the Cretaceous-Poleogene event. The Permian-Triassic event was the largest mass extinction in our world's history.
How have reptiles adapted over time?
Going back to the dinosaur ages, (yes they were reptiles) not very much. They are still cold blooded scaly reptiles that lay eggs. In fact the 2 main types of reptiles (snakes and lizards) have really only got 1 main difference, one has legs and one hasn't. I'll let you work out which ones which. In fact some larger snakes have got 4 lumps on their belly where legs were once in their ancestral history, or where legs will be a few million years from now.
