 Reptiles
of Tucson include tortoises/turtles, lizards, and snakes. Reptiles have
scales and amniotic eggs (eggs with internal membranes, including the amnion
membrane, and a shell). Amniotic eggs, when layed, are layed in the ground,
not in the water like amphibians. Thus, newborn reptiles are like mini-versions
of their parents and don't need to go through an aquatic, larval form as
do most amphibians. |
