Climate Change Threatens Reptile Reproduction and Survival

Climate change is making it harder for some reptiles to have babies.

Many reptiles, like lizards and turtles, become male or female based on the temperature of their eggs, not their genes.

As the world gets warmer, this could lead to too many males or females in some species, making it difficult for them to find mates.

This could also reduce their genetic diversity, which helps them adapt to changes.

Additionally, reptiles are already facing other problems like habitat loss and pollution, making their survival even more challenging.

Scientists are studying these issues to better understand and protect these ancient creatures.
