Abstract: Reptiles evolved from their Amphibian ancestor’s long back during late Carboniferous period. Later on they experienced quite a few major mass extinctions on their evolutionary progression. Although the Mesozoic era is considered as the age of reptiles but the extant reptiles are also successful vertebrates in many parts of the earth, still adapting and evolving in new habitat types and variable climates. Evolution is never static as speciation may appear slow but a continuous process.
