Reptiles are more closely related to birds and mammals than they are to amphibians although they are viewed in the same manner and are lumped within the group of Herpetology. Reptiles and amphibians are some of the more underappreciated of animals and with this page, I hope to bring more attention to the most interesting and some of the most threatened of my subjects. Below, different species are differentiated by region and each page contains information about their natural history.
