Reptilia (class) (Vertebrata (subphylum), Chordata (phylum), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Class of air-breathing vertebrate animals characterized by being tetrapods (although some, such as snakes, have evolved modified skeletons), cold-blooded, having an ossified skeleton, usually having scales or horny plates covering their body, and laying eggs with embryos surrounded by an amniotic membrane. Living reptiles include over 8,700 species of turtles, tuataras, lizards and snakes, and crocodiles. Birds (class Aves) share a common ancestor with crocodiles, thus some classifications would group them as technically one lineage with reptiles; more commonly, but they are treated separately. Excluding birds, there are over 8,700 species of living reptiles. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Chinese (traditional) ..... 以肺呼吸的脊椎動物綱,除了蛇等爬蟲類的骨骼經演化而改變,一般爬蟲類具有四足;屬冷血動物,骨骼鈣化,通常身上覆蓋著鱗片或角狀鱗甲,產下由羊膜包覆胚胎的卵。現存的爬蟲綱動物涵蓋超過八千七百種龜、鱷蜥、蜥蜴、蛇以及鱷魚。鳥綱的鳥類與鱷魚祖先相同,因此,某些分類法將鳥類與爬蟲類列為同一世系,但普遍還是視為兩個獨立的類群。如果不將鳥類列入考慮,現存的爬蟲綱動物多達八千七百種以上。 |
