More About Drawing Reptiles

What qualifies as a reptile? As you will see in the illustrations below, reptiles have a few things in common. One is that their bodies are covered in scales.

What you can't see is that reptiles are cold-blooded. This means they have to get their heat from their environment; they don't make their own heat like we do. (Dinosaurs may have been an exception to this; they might have been warm-blooded, but since they are extinct, we may never know.)

Finally, most reptiles lay eggs - though a few give birth to live young.

The reptiles on this list represent eons of time. Some, such as the Tyrannosaurus rex and the velociraptor, are known only for fossils. These animals were extinct long before humans came along.

Others, like the alligator, are just as ancient although they still exist today. Modern alligators and crocodiles look just like their ancient fossilized relatives.

Other reptiles include lizards, turtles, and snakes. And one of our guides - the Medusa - demonstrates how real creatures (in this case, snakes) have been adopted into mythologies.
