ABSTRACT
As we know, ancient reptiles - cotylosaurs - evolved from stegocephalus in the Middle Carboniferous. Stegocephalus later divided into 2 branches; from one of them - mammals, and the other - birds. Reptiles (Reptilia) belong to the class of vertebrates. Currently, there are 3 zoos in the Republic of Uzbekistan. These zoos are located in Surkhandarya, Fergana regions, and the city of Tashkent. In total, these zoos contain 14,443 species of animals. 304 of them are reptiles. Nowadays the Tashkent Zoo occupies 21.5 hectares and has 373 animal species. 12 animal displays and the zoo are open to the public. The new territory has animal cages, including big wintering quarters.
