A list of all [[Friends]] | A list of all [[Friends]] based on ectothermic tetrapods which form the class [[Wikipedia:Reptiles|Reptilia]], and are collectively known as '''reptiles'''. Traditionally, Reptilia is divided into four orders: | ||
[[Category:Friends]] | * [[wikipedia:Crocodilia|Crocodilia]], which is composed of the predatory, semi-aquatic [[:Category:Crocodilia Friends|crocodilians]]: alligators, caimans, crocodiles, gharials, and false gharials. | ||
* [[wikipedia:Rhynchocephalia|Rhynchocephalia]], which contains only one extant member: the [[wikipedia:Tuatara|tuatara]]. | |||
* [[wikipedia:Squamata|Squamata]], which is composed of the [[:Category:Lizard Friends|lizards]] and [[:Category:Snake Friends|snakes]]. | |||
* [[wikipedia:Testudines|Testudines]], which is composed of the shelled reptiles collectively known as [[:Category:Turtle Friends|turtles]]. Note that, despite a distinction being made between the two in common vernacular, tortoises are also a type of turtle, and thus are also included in this order. | |||
[[:Category:Dragon Friends|Friends who are based on dragons]] are not to be included on this list, as dragons are not included within the class Reptilia, nor are they in fact scientifically classified at all. Despite displaying traits commonly associated with reptiles, dragons cannot be fairly compared with any one taxonomic group, due to the highly variable nature by which they are depicted in and by cultures around the world. | |||
