Reptiles
Reptiles, as most commonly defined are the animals in the Class (biology), class Reptilia ( ), a paraphyletic grouping comprising all sauropsid, sauropsids except birds. Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, Squamata, squamates (lizards and snakes) and rhynchocephalians (tuatara). As of March 2022, the Reptile Database includes about 11,700 species. In the traditional Linnaean taxonomy, Linnaean classification system, birds are considered a separate class to reptiles. However, crocodilians are more closely related to birds than they are to other living reptiles, and so modern Cladistics, cladistic classification systems include birds within Reptilia, redefining the term as a clade. Other cladistic definitions abandon the term reptile altogether in favor of the clade Sauropsida, which refers to all amniotes more closely related to modern reptiles than to mammals. The study of the traditional reptile Order (biology), orders, historically combined with that of modern amphi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hemidactylus
__NOTOC__ ''Hemidactylus'' is a genus of the common gecko family, Gekkonidae. It has 189 described species, newfound ones being described every few years. These geckos are found in all the tropical regions of the world, extending into the subtropical parts of Africa and Europe. They excel in colonizing oceanic islands by rafting on flotsam, and are for example found across most of Polynesia. In some archipelagoes, cryptic species complexes are found.Lizards of the World (2004): Hemidactylus'. Version of 2004-FEB-08. Retrieved 2009-APR-04. Geckos like to live in and out of houses. They have been introduced to Australia. The species are typically known as house geckos, due to their readiness to adapt to and coexist with humans, and can be easily encountered in human habitations. This genus was originally established by Lorenz Oken in 1817 for the species at that time known as ''Hemidactylus tuberculosus'', and now described as the tropical house gecko (''Hemidactylus mabouia''). ...

Eublepharis Macularius
The leopard gecko or common leopard gecko (''Eublepharis macularius'') is a ground-dwelling lizard native to the rocky dry grassland and desert regions of Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Nepal. The leopard gecko has become a popular pet, and due to extensive captive breeding it is sometimes referred to as the first domesticated species of lizard. Taxonomy Leopard geckos were first described as a species by zoologist Edward Blyth in 1854 as ''Eublepharis macularius''. The genus, generic name ''Eublepharis'' is a combination of the Greek language, Greek words ''eu'' (good) and ''blepharos'' (eyelid), as having eyelids is the primary characteristic that distinguishes members of this subfamily from other geckos, along with a lack of lamella (anatomy), lamellae. The species, specific name ''macularius'' derives from the Latin word ''macula'' meaning "spot" or "blemish", referring to the animal's natural spotted markings. There are five subspecies of E. macularius: *''Eublepha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
