Title: Classify and Categorize
1Classify and Categorize When you classify, you
group together several things that have something
in common. When you tell how the parts of the
group are alike, you categorize them. Reptiles
can be found in most places throughout the
world. They are found both on the land and in
the water. Most lizards and snakes live in
places that have warm weather. Desert tortoises
and Gila monsters prefer hot, dry desert areas.
Pythons and anacondas- two kinds of snakes that
grow to be very large- live in moist, tropical
areas. Some reptiles make their homes in oceans,
lakes, and rivers. For example, marine iguanas
and sea turtles live in the ocean most of the
time. Sea snakes spend their entire lives in the
water. Crocodiles and alligators live both in
the land and in the water.
