Hello

Reptiles-

They normally have three chambered heart but crocodile is the only reptile having four chambered heart.

Answer 2

Answer:

The reptile with a near “four-chambered heart” is the crocodile. This is due to evolutionary adaption in crocodiles.

Explanation:

Reptiles like crocodiles and alligators “have a four-chambered heart” with “two auricles and two ventricles” and unique circulatory adaptations and These adaptations are to suit their amphibian nature.

The two arteries supply blood to the ‘lungs’ and some other parts of body.

This pumping of blood takes place usually during their submergence period.

The blood moves from one chamber to another through the “foramen of Panizza”, which is a small hole present in the crocodile’s heart.
