Reptiles & Amphibians

Reptiles and amphibians often get a bad reputation, but they play a huge role in keeping nature balanced. Reptiles like alligators, snakes, turtles, and lizards thrive in warmer environments and often remind people of the ancient age of dinosaurs. Amphibians like frogs, salamanders, and toads are tied to both water and land, making them great indicators of a healthy ecosystem.

Snakes and lizards might make some folks nervous, but they’re important pest controllers, keeping rodents and insects in check. Frogs, with their familiar croaks, are both backyard favorites and key species for scientists watching environmental changes.

Whether it’s the tough shell of a turtle or the slippery skin of a salamander, these creatures are built to survive in unique ways. Once you learn a little about them, you realize they’re far more fascinating than frightening.
