However, there are many more invertebrates than vertebrates. Cold-blooded animals depend on their surroundings to establish their body temperatures. Three types of amphibians are frogs and toads, salamanders, and caecilians. Caecilians are primitive amphibians that resemble earthworms. They are found in the tropics.
Reptiles are cold-blooded and breathe with lungs.
They have scales, and most lay eggs. Reptiles include snakes, turtles and tortoises, crocodiles and alligators, and lizards. Dinosaurs were reptiles, although some scientists believe that some were warm blooded. Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers and wings. Most mammals also have body hair.
