Is there a difference between a herptile and a reptile?
This is a rather strange word; herptile. The name is meant to include the reptiles and the amphibians in the same category. I honestly don’t know why we do that in the first place, since reptiles and birds would be better to classify together, since they have more in common. At any rate the answer is yes. Herptile includes amphibians and reptiles.
