anything you know would be great!
thanks for the help!
what's the difference between them in reptiles and in amphibians though?
Amphibian: partial double circulation. Little mixing, but can redirect blood from lung to skin

The journal International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics aims to be "a channel of communication for researchers from around the world working on a variety of studies involving nature and its significance to modern scientific thought and design." Published by Wessex Institute of Technology Press, the journal focuses on ecological biomimetics : "Ecodynamics in particular aims to relate ecosystems to evolutionary thermodynamics in order to arrive at satisfactory solutions for sustainable development."
The journal's editors and editorial board include scientists and engineers from over 15 nations at over 40 institutions including MIT, Duke University, Tokyo University, University of Exeter, University of Bologna, University of Koln, and Georgia Tech. Though the journal has published a couple of papers in recent years that are sympathetic to ID, I know of no direct evidence that this journal itself is friendly to ID. But it seems that some credible people affiliated with this journal felt that ID may have merit, and so they've published a few papers sympathetic to ID arguments.

The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than Lizards and snakes. Pet Animal Turtle Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield. Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms&mdash....

Amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals - living and extinct
Birds are, seemingly, not as adversely affected since their respiratory system (with its stiff lungs) is better able to cope with the shunting around of large quantities of air (birds do get killed by turbines, but predominantly by collision with the

Bronx Zoo deadly escaped Egyptian Cobra is found alive after 6 days on the lam
All along, zoo officials said they were confident the 20-inch-long adolescent was still somewhere in the Reptile House, not roaming the city. Cobras can be deadly. The Egyptian's bite will shut down a human respiratory system if left untreated.
