Crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies only to the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae.

2. Snake
Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorousreptiles of the suborderSerpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniotevertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws.
To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs (such as
kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and
most have only one functional lung.

3. Tortoise Tortoises are a family, Testudinidae, of land-dwelling reptiles in the order Testudines. Tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron,
and the two are connected by the bridge. The carapace is fused to both
the vertebrae and ribcage, and tortoises are unique among vertebrates in that the pectoral and pelvic girdles are inside the ribcage rather than outside. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters
4. Lizards
Lizards are a widespread group of squamatereptiles, with over 6,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group, traditionally recognized as the suborder Lacertilia, is defined as all extant members of the Lepidosauria (reptiles with overlapping scales) that are neither sphenodonts (i.e., tuatara) nor snakes – they form an evolutionary grade. While the snakes are recognized as falling phylogenetically within the Toxicoferaclade from which they evolved, the sphenodonts are the sister group to the squamates, the larger monophyletic group, which includes both the lizards and the snakes.
5. Aligator
An alligator is a crocodilian in the genusAlligator of the family Alligatoridae. The two livingspecies are the American alligator (A. mississippiensis) and the Chinese alligator (A. sinensis). In addition, several extinct species of alligator are known from fossil remains. Alligators first appeared during the Paleocene epoch about 37 million years ago.
6. Chameleon
are a distinctive and highly specialized clade of Old Worldlizards with 202 species described as of June 2015. These species come in a range of colors, and many species have the ability to change color.
7. Gecko
Geckos are lizards belonging to the infraorderGekkota, found in warm climates
throughout the world. They range from 1.6 to 60 cm (0.64 to 24 inches).
Most geckos cannot blink, but they often lick their eyes to keep them
clean and moist. They have a fixed lens within each iris that enlarges
in darkness to let in more light.
8.Komodo Dragon
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. A member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae,
it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length
of 3 metres (10 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to approximately 70
kilograms (150 lb).
is the largest and easternmost province of Indonesia, comprising most of western New Guinea. Papua is bordered by the nation of Papua New Guinea to the east, and by West Papua province to the west. Its capital is Jayapura. It was formerly called Irian Jaya (before that West Irian or Irian Barat)
and comprised all of Indonesian New Guinea. In 2002 the current name
was adopted and in 2003 West Papua province was created from western
parts of
Papua province.
2. Culture -Dress/Clothing Physically, papua’s traditional clothing is skirt-type looking made of
dried palm leaves or coconut fiber. There are birds feather used as
accessories for the bracelet and necklace. They usually used paradise
bird feathers as accessories for their clothing.
Uniquely, Papua’s traditional clothing is not made of cloth. These
clothing are usually used for everyday use, even though only the old
tribes still used this kind of clothing. Even more, Papua still believe
this clothing as their traditional clothing that’s usually used for
traditional events or wedding.
Papuan don’t use make up, they use face painting all over their faces
and body usually using white color to decorate their looks. They too use
pig tusk to bring the white color. Even though they have dark skin
color, they like to use white color accessory such as pig tusk to
decorate their clothing.
-Food Papeda
Papeda or bubur sagu, is sagocongee, the staple food of native people in Maluku and Papua. It is commonly found in eastern Indonesia, as the counterpart of central and western Indonesian cuisines that favour rice as their staple food. Papeda is made from sago starch. The Moluccans and Papuans acquire the starch by felling the trunk of a sago palm tree,
cutting it in half, and scraping the soft inner parts of the trunk, the
pith, producing a crude sago pith flour. This flour is then mixed with
water and squeezed to leach the starch from the flour. The still moist sago starch is usually stored in a container made of sago palm leaflets, called tumang
in which it will keep for several months before spontaneous
fermentation will turn it too acidic and unsuitable for making papeda.
Depending on the variety and the growing conditions, it may take a sago
tree five to fifteen years to accumulate enough starch in its trunk to
make the effort of extracting it worthwhile.
