When on land, they are often found in moist leaf litter and under rocks and logs. In northern areas several species are found in ponds, streams, or rivers. The caecilians are found tropical in environments from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, in tropical Africa, and in Southeast Asia. These limbless animals are usually burrowers. One family of South America is aquatic and lives in streams, especially in the drainage basin of the Amazon River.
Reptiles are cold-blooded.
Cold-bloodedness does not mean that a reptile is necessarily cold. A lizard basking in the sun may have a higher body temperature than a mammal. Reptiles are characterized by a combination of features, none of which alone could separate all reptiles from all other animals. Hi Myra, Interesting article. Great information on the differences between amphibians and reptiles.
