Why reptiles take sun shine?

Answer 1

Like all reptiles, lizards are cold-blooded. Cold-blooded means that the lizard can not generate its own heat. Mammals are warm-blooded, meaning we can generate our own heat and maintain body temperature levels at a perfect condition without having to use something else to keep us at a good temperature range. Lizards go in the sun so they can warm themselves because their blood cannot maintain heat to keep the body from freezing.

Answer 2

Reptiles bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature. They are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to warm their bodies. Basking in the sun helps them maintain their metabolism and overall health.

Answer 3

To protect themselves from danger and hide themselves from their prey.

Answer 4

Because they are cold blooded and do not regulate their body temperature through metabolism like mamals

Answer 5

Because they are cold blooded, but they like to be warm, so they use the sun's heat to keep warm.

Answer 6

All the heat gives them energy. That's when they use their energy.
