Reptiles have been around on earth since the late Carboniferous period, they also encompassed dinosaurs, marine reptiles and pterosaurs. However, these animals are now long extinct, but alongside them also lived other reptiles which are still very much alive today, such as crocodiles, snakes, turtles, lizards and more.
