[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

1. Reptiles are cold-blooded, meaning they regulate their body temperature through external sources like basking in the sun or finding shade. Mammals are warm-blooded and can regulate their body temperature internally.

2. Reptiles typically have scales or scutes covering their bodies, while mammals have hair or fur. This difference in skin covering helps reptiles retain moisture and protect themselves from predators, while mammals use their fur for insulation and communication.
