Nocturnal animals only come out at night, they live in woods and other quiet places, they move and feed while we are asleep.

Many nocturnal animals have poor eyesight, they rely on other senses like touch, feel and smell.

Nocturnal animals often need there ears more that their eyes, a wood may seem quiet but they listen for small sounds.

Some of the largest reptiles alive today include the leatherback turtle, the Komodo dragon, and the saltwater crocodile

In many reptiles, the sex of the young is determined by the temperature the embryos are exposed to during incubation.

The first reptiles appeared approximately 340 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period.
