What dinosaur would you like to be? Explain why.

Reptiles are cold-blooded animals and they live in warm climates. They are characterised

by their dry, scaly skin. Most reptiles lay leathery shelled eggs.

For over I 50 million years, reptiles were the dominant life forms on Earth. The best known of these animals were the dinosaurs, but there were many others, including the flying pterosaurs and ocean dwelling plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.

Today, there are four main groups of reptiles: alligators and crocodiles (about 25 species), tortoises and turtles (about 250 species), and the snakes (about 2700 species) and lizards (over 3700 species). The fourth group contains just one species, the tuatara of New Zealand.

Most reptiles are excellent swimmers and some, such as the turtles and terrapins, spend most of their lives in water. But reptiles can lay their eggs on land, unlike most amphibians. The leathery shells of the eggs stop the embryos drying out.

Reptiles have dry, scaly skins. Many are agile, fast-moving animals, the fastest being snakes. All reptiles are considered to be cold-blooded animals, but the term is misleading. Although a reptile's body warms in sunlight and is less active when cold, reptiles have a temperature regulation mechanism. Scientists have still to discover how this mechanism works.

Crocodiles, and their relatives the alligator, the caiman and the gharial, are collectively called crocodilians. These reptiles are large carnivores, with strong jaws and powerful tails. They either lie on riverbanks, basking in the sun or stay almost submerged in the water, with just their eyes and nostrils showing. Crocodilians are caring parents. Females lay their eggs in sand or in nests of vegetation and guard their newly hatched young fiercely.

Turtles and tortoises are covered in a hard shell -only the head, legs and tail are exposed. When alarmed, the tortoise hides its head inside the shell. Marine turtles are fast swimmers but are near helpless when they come ashore to lay their eggs.

Snakes move by wriggling their bodies. Most species are found in the deserts and tropical forests, but some live in the ocean.

Snakes are carnivorous animals, which means they only feed on meat. They sense their prey by smell, using their flicking tongues to 'taste' the air, or with special heat sensing organs. Poisonous snakes can bite as soon as they hatch. Vipers and rattlesnakes have long fangs -cobras and sea snakes have shorter fangs.

Many snakes are not poisonous. They kill their prey with a bite alone, or like boas and anacondas, by crushing prey to death in powerful coils.

Most lizards have legs, with the exception of slow worms. Some like the Australian thorny devil have spines and some, like the Gila monster of North America, are poisonous. Some lizards and snakes give birth to live young, but most lay eggs.

1. What are three of the main groups of reptiles? 2. What is special about the fourth group of reptiles? 3. Describe a reptile’s skin. 4. What is one difference between amphibians and reptiles

noted in the text? 5. What does the word ‘alarmed’ in paragraph 7 mean? 6. Do snakes use a nose to smell their prey? Explain. 7. What factors need to be considered when approaching a reptile? 8. Would this information be useful to you if you were trying to classify a group of animals? Why?

Measuring Intelligence with Encephalization Quotient (EQ)

Modern day naturalists evaluate the intelligence of both extinct and living animals by a formula called the Encephalization Quotient, or EQ. Encephalization means that an animal’s brain gets bigger as it gets smarter, while its body stays the same size. EQ compares the size of a creature's brain to the size of the rest of its body, and compares this ratio to that of other species of similar size. There are various EQ scales. Some scales set the average human EQ at 5. Others set it at about 8, and scale up the EQ of other creatures proportionally. Here are the EQs (on the 5 scale) of some mammals and dinosaurs:

Human: 5 Wildebeest: .68

Bottlenose Dolphin: 3.6 African Elephant: .63

Capuchin (Monkey): 2.5 Opossum: .39

2-legged, feathered dinosaurs: about .6 Troodon: .39

Triceratops: .11 Brachiosaurus: less than .1

EQ is not an exact science, and intelligence is about more than just brain-to-body mass ratio. For example, our cerebral cortex is a relatively recent thing (in evolutionary terms). There are also different degrees of brain folding in different creatures. Brain folding increases the surface of the cortex, a phenomenon that has been correlated with increased intelligence in humans.

Additionally, not all creatures’ brains fill the entire endocranium. Because the brain of a modern reptile fills only half its endocranium, some scientists have assumed the same thing about dinosaurs, thus making them out to be less intelligent than they may have been. To further complicate the issue, fossil remains of other reptiles have indicated that their brains overflowed the endocranial cavity. When it comes to how big dinosaurs’ brains were in relation to their endocranial cavities, we really just don’t know for sure.

1. Summarise what EQ is in your own words. 2. What does the author mean by saying, “scale up the EQ of other creatures proportionally”? 3. Is there difference between endocranium and endocranial cavity? Explain. 4. Is there a difference between ratio and scale? Explain. 5. Look up these words: naturalist, cerebral cortex, correlated. Provide a definition for each, in your

own words. 6. Explain the difference between EQ and intelligence. 7. Describe the difference between the cognitive capacity of humans and animals. 8. Analyse four problems dinosaurs would experience if their intellect was equal to humans. 9. Write a paragraph on the cognitive capacity of an octopus, in your own words. 10. Design a theoretical experiment that would gauge an animal’s cognitive capacity.

THE GREAT TYRANNOSAURUS by: Arthur Guiterman (1871-1943)

A FOSSILIFEROUS FABLE

The Great Tyrannosaurus Lived centuries ago;

Through marshes wet and porous He rambled to and fro.

trex The most tremendous Lizard That ever browsed on meat, His length from A to Izzard

Was forty-seven feet.

The Great Tyrannosaurus In habitude was not

What one would call decorous-- He ate an awful lot.

Lamellibranchs in sixes,

Iguanodons to spare. And Archaeopteryxes

Comprised his bill of fare.

The Great Tyrannosaurus Of all the world was king;

With trumpetings sonorous He swallowed everything.

When everything was swallowed

Beneath the azure sky, What naturally followed?--

The Creature had to die.

The Great Tyrannosaurus, That was so blithe and free,

Hath passed away before us; Then learn from him and me:

This earth can never nourish

An appetite like his; So, lf you hope to flourish, Don't gobble all there is!

1. What do you think 'to and fro' means? 2. What do these words mean? habitude, porous, rambled,

decorous, comprised, sonorous, azure, blithe, nourish, appetite, flourish, gobble

3. List the types of dinosaurs in the poem in alphabetical order.

4. Describe the environment that the Tyrannosaurus inhabited.

5. What does the poet mean 'if you hope to flourish'. Write your answer in your own words. 6. Outline what the Tyrannosaurs did. Use the ideas from the poem to help with your answer. 7. Using what information you already know about dinosaurs as well as the poem 'The Great

Tyrannosaurus' discuss how you think the other dinosaurs would have responded to the tyrannosaurus.

8. Compare and contrast this fable with 'The Hare and the Tortoise'. 9. Explain what this means in terms of our world today. 'This earth can never nourish an appetite

like this'. 10. What is the overall message that you gained from the poem? 11. Justify the statement: 'Dinosaurs had a lesser impact on their environment than humans do on

our world.' 12. Using any media, provide an illustration for this poem.

Editing - Reptiles and Amphibians Through the Ages

The earliest amphibians appear in fossils that are over 370 million years old, whereas reptiles date back around 320 million years interstingly, over a gelogic time scale reptiles such as crocodillians and turtles have not changed very much in their appearance or habits these ancient animals wandered the planet with the dinosaurs and have survived them by millions of years.

Many other amphibians and reptiles, however, have undergone dramatic changes over time. The earlyest amphibians looked more like fish with legs from these early semiaquatic creatures evolved a wide variety of life forms that barely resembled their primitive ancestors over hundreds of millions of years many different amphibians evolved and disapeared leaving the familiar salamanders and frogs of today.
