The be less specific clue helped me on the turtle. Was it a loggerhead? A green? No, just sea. Also I think, if we're being pedantic, three of these aren't reptiles.

Man, that mamba does not look very black in that light.

They're jet black on top, not so much on the under belly.

They're usually slate grey on top, they're named for their jet black mouths.

Yes, JMM is correct about this. I've had experience with more than one black mamba, and the best way to identify them is to wait until they are dead and then check if their mouth is black. Because trust me, you don't want to check while it is still alive!

That sounds like very good advise, but something that I hope I never have the opportunity to check for myself - not terribly fond of snakes since being "chased" by a black racer as a child.

I know a lot of what we think about dinosaurs has changed since the last time I paid significant attention to them. Are they still technically considered to be reptiles?

Depends on what classification system you are using. The older (and to most people more intuitive, but also somewhat outdated) Linnaean system classifies animals based on their characteristics, behavior, and sometimes common ancestry. Dinosaurs were thought to be more lizard-like in the past (scaly, slow, cold-blooded) but we now think that much of this characterization was wrong and that dinosaurs in many ways were more similar to large flightless birds.

Phylogenetic classification groups all organisms into nested categories and if one of your ancestors was something, you are also that thing. In phylogenetics an organism can never give birth to something that is not what it is, no matter how many generations pass. So... because dinosaurs evolved from reptiles, dinosaurs are reptiles. Because birds evolved from dinosaurs, birds are dinosaurs. But humans are also technically reptiles with this system, and both birds and humans are technically fish.

That's ridiculous, by your logic everything is a single celled organism because that's where we all originated from.

Nice quiz but, the 'Gecko' is a leopard Gecko so I think that should really be accepted (as it's a common pet among reptile owners and so many people know it).

pls comodo instead of komodo if possible. and in general, i think the c-k rule makes sense in every or almost every situation.

No, it doesn't. Comodo is a cyber security company. Komodo is an Indonesian island. They are completely different.

Komodo Dragon is the actual name of the species lol not Comodo Dragon, I think scientific accuracy is better than grammar rules

Sorry to say but dinosaurs weren't reptiles, they are the ancestors of modern birds not reptiles.

I had mistaken the gecko for a fire salamander. I dont know geckos in those colours. The colours instantly trigered fire salamander in my brain (though yes their builds are dfferent)

Also missed skink, didnt know that word, will look it up what it is in my language and if I know it then.. and I forgot stegosarus... Which I do know, but it has been quite some time since I looked at dinosaaurs.

For skink I was actually thinking hazelworm, which is slowworm or blindworm in english, look quite similar, though one of them has feet haha (usually, not always though..)

Why are some of them species and some of them whole group with lots of species in that group? Also dinosaurus could be considered birds

I was beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why "chamelion" wasn't working. I ended up googling chamelion to see if I was just going crazy and realized it's spelled chameleon. Feel like that could have been put into the accepted misspellings.

What features are used to identify an anaconda?

I got it by guessing common snake names (the movie Anaconda).

I googled "spot snake", but the spotted house snake takes top billing.

It looks like it may have smooth scales/live near water. And is large/girthy/probably a constrictor.

I guess people would be familiar with the large constrictors. And know that a python looks more like a rattlesnake pattern. But a boa looks like a python too.
