Answers and explanations

  1. Question: Which reptile has a long sticky tongue to catch insects?
    Answer: Chameleon
    Explanation: Chameleons shoot their tongue to snatch bugs quickly; it can be as long as their body. People may think frogs do this, but frogs are amphibians, not reptiles.
  2. Question: What reptile carries its home on its back?
    Answer: Turtle
    Explanation: Turtles have hard shells that protect them like a house; some turtles live on land and some in water. Snails also carry shells, but snails are not reptiles.
  3. Question: Which reptile sheds its skin in pieces as it grows?
    Answer: Snake
    Explanation: Snakes shed their old skin to make room for growth and to clean parasites; many reptiles shed too, but snakes often shed in one full piece. Lizards can lose tail bits, not full skin like snakes.
  4. Question: Which reptile has a long frill or throat fan used to scare enemies?
    Answer: Frilled lizard
    Explanation: The frilled lizard opens its colorful frill to look big and scary; people might guess dragons, but those are mythical.
  5. Question: Which reptile is known for changing its skin color?
    Answer: Chameleon
    Explanation: Chameleons change color to hide, show mood, or cool off; many think all lizards change color, but most do not like chameleons do.
  6. Question: Which reptile has a hard beak and lives in water and on land?
    Answer: Turtle
    Explanation: Turtles have a beak-like mouth and paddle or walk to move; people often say 'tortoise,' but tortoises live only on land.
  7. Question: What is the largest living reptile on Earth today?
    Answer: Crocodile
    Explanation: Saltwater and Nile crocodiles can grow huge and are the biggest living reptiles; sharks may be big in the sea but they are fish, not reptiles.
