Lindsey from Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District talks to us about herptiles, or herps!
"Herp, Herp, Hurray!" introduced children to the fascinating world of reptiles and amphibians. The term "herptile" encompasses both reptiles and amphibians, stemming from the study of these creatures, known as herpetology. The word originates from the Greek term for "crawling things."
