I also believe that the birds are much more superior to the lizards. I like the fact that they can fly and that they aren't ready to kill you, like some snakes. Snakes are cool, though, and I know that most creatures attack defensively.
I have to say birds, particularly birds of prey. I mean, look at the name "birds of prey". Doesn't that just sound hardcore? Raptors, is what they call them scientifically, that's such an awesome word. Raptors. Rapturs. Rapture. And it's only two letters away from the lesser known name for the Apocalypse. See? Isn't that awesome? Not to mention, have you seen them? All flying around, screaming through the canyons, with claws the size of steak knife, bearing down on some innocent little fishy at over 40 miles per hour, letting out that insane scream the whole time. Birds of prey definitely win over like, turtles and salamanders.
