DESCRIPTION:Snakes\, lizards\, turtles\, and others comprise one of the mos
 t fascinating groups of vertebrates — the reptiles. There is hardly a gr
 oup which inspires as much wonder\, awe\, and fear as this one. This cours
 e provides an exploration into reptiles beginning with how they arose on e
 arth\, and then discussing what they have been up to since they got here. 
 Global biodiversity will be discussed in detail\, exploring the major grou
 ps and their relationships to each other. The anatomy and physiology will 
 be explored\, as well as the ecological role of reptiles in keeping our en
 vironments healthy.\n \n\nSpecial emphasis will be placed on reptiles nati
 ve to the Southeastern US\, though the course will be broadly applicable.\
 n \n\nThis course assumes a basic understanding of Biology and Comparative
  Anatomy\, but are not requirements. All required course materials will be
  provided.\n \n\nThis class takes place over 8 Saturday afternoons on Zoom
 \; each class is 3 hours long (2:30-5:30)\; basically 3 regular classes (w
 ith breaks) in succession each Saturday. See the course syllabus.\n \n\nOn
