CLASSIFICATION OF REPTILLA (Zoological Record Volume 138)
Dinosaurs are classified as reptiles. A reptile is a cold-blooded, scaly, four-legged animal that lays eggs on land. Two formal categories: Saurischia (or lizard-hip) and Ornithischia (or bird-hip) encompass the creatures that have traditionally been called dinosaurs. All of the animals in Genesis Park fit into this classification.
