        Plants, fruits and vegetables.
        
        Rodents.
        
        Larger mammals.
        
        Birds.
        
        Other reptiles.
      - They can swim, slither, or walk from one location to another. They move to avoid predators, pursue prey, or burrow eggs in the earth.
    - - Reptiles have rough scales (snakes and lizards) or protective shells (turtles and tortoises).While some have fangs, most have claws. They are protected from predators by their hue, which blends in with their surroundings.
    - - Because of the mild winters in South Africa, reptiles do not truly hibernate throughout the winter. Rather, they restrict their activities and lower their metabolism in an effort to save energy.
    - - Shedding happens every two weeks in reptiles who are growing quickly. With the exception of enormous snakes, which may rip their skin, snakes lose their skin in one piece. The snakes are extremely erratic and angry during shedding, and they may bite if handled. During this period, handling harms their newly formed skin.
      - Reptiles locate food and partners, avoid predators, and employ their senses of smell, hearing, and eyesight.
      - They grab objects, rip food, and protect themselves with their mouths. Rarely will they protect the young.
      - In reptiles, clutches of eggs and litters of newborns differ greatly and depend on the species. A clutch of egg layers can include one or more than one hundred eggs. A litter of live-bearing reptiles can contain anywhere from one to fifty babies.
