None of the above. They are given their own class.
What is different about reptiles and amphibians?
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to live young (with the exception of the platypus). They also feed their young with the mother's milk, and often have hair or fur on their bodies. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals (most do not produce their own body heat) that lay eggs instead of giving live birth (there are a few snakes that push this boundary). Reptiles usually have scales instead of hair or fur. Amphibians are also cold-blooded animals that lay eggs, but differ from reptiles because they spend much of their lives in water. For example, a land-faring toad begins life as a tadpole in water. Amphibians can also breathe through their skin, to a certain extent. Certain amphibians also have gills like fish do.

Why are some animals referred to as cold blooded?
Mammals are warm blooded, reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded.Mammals can regulate their own body temperature and are therefore said to be warm blooded, while reptiles rely on the sun to raise their body temperature (hence the reason why you see lizards 'sunbathing') and are therefore said to be cold blooded

What name do scientists give to animals that cannot make their own body heat?

How do most reptiles act?
Most reptiles like to sunbask for a good portion of the day because they cannot produce their own heat.
Why did birds evolve after reptiles?
