Book 32, Question 27
What do reptiles do on a cold morning before they can move fast?
A reptile’s muscles work best when its body is warm.
After a cool night, it feels slow and sleepy, so it climbs to a sunny rock, branch, or path to warm up. Some face the sun with the body tilted to catch more sunlight. Once warm, the reptile can hunt, run, and think faster. A reptile that is too cold stays tucked away in safety.
