Why are reptiles so ugly?
<|assistant|>
Reptiles are ugly for the same reason that many animals and insects are: survival. Ugly reptiles can scare away predators, and also make it more difficult for them to be seen by other animals when trying to camouflage. Additionally, many reptiles have developed a "toxic" appearance that warns potential threats of a potentially painful encounter.
