Praise be to God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. And God created every living creature from water. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. God creates whatever He wills. God is Omnipotent.
Reptiles are a class of animals, made up of snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodilians and tuatara.
The last is a rare, lizardlike reptile that lives only on a few islands near New Zealand. They are called living fossils since all the rest of their order is extinct, having died out millions of years ago. Why they survive, no one knows and little is known about them. Much, however, is known and written about the other reptiles because we interact with them regularly, and like all of God's creations there is much that is fascinating. Snakes do not have a good reputation.
