Here are some reptiles found in North America:-

Leather back turtle:- Body temperature stays several degrees above that of the water, allowing the turtle to penetrate far into the cool ocean waters.

American Alligator:- drags large prey under water and rolls it over and over as it bites the animals flesh with it's deadly gripping jaws.

Snapping terrapin:- Far removed from those kept as pets it is aggressive with fearsome claws, and a hooked beak sharp enough to bite through a human hand.
