What are reptiles and amphibians?

Have you ever seen a big, fat frog? Did its bulging eyes and raspy croak make you laugh?

Have you ever seen a tiny garden snake zipping through the grass? Were you amazed at how fast it could travel with no feet?

Snakes and frogs belong to two groups of animals called reptiles and amphibians.

Amphibians and reptiles slither, scamper, hop, or swim. Some hiss, some croak, and some make no sound at all. Some amphibians have scaly skin that feels like tree bark. Some snakes have skin that feels like warm glass. Some frogs are slimy, but most snakes are not.

Amphibians and reptiles live all over the world – in woodland forests and rain forests, the Australian outback and the African plains, and maybe in your own garden.
