A member of the platinum group of metals which, unsurprisingly, includes platinum, rhodium is most commonly found mixed with other platinum group metals. This makes it difficult to extract, which can only increase its value.
What is a reptile? Reptiles are animals that are cold-blooded. Most reptiles lay eggs and their skin is covered with hard, dry scales. What does cold-blooded mean? Animals that are cold-blooded don't automatically maintain a constant body temperature. They have to lay out in the sun to keep their body heat up.
Reptiles are cold-blooded. That is, they lack the ability to regulate their metabolic heat (heat derived from the oxidation, or burning, of food and from other processes) for the production of sustained body warmth and a constant body temperature.Cold-bloodedness, however, does not mean that a reptile is necessarily cold.he class Reptilia (living and extinct reptiles) is divided into 6 to 12 subclasses by different authorities. A number of these subclasses are completely extinct. The subclasses contain about 24 orders, but only 4 of these are still represented by living animals.
