I'd define a reptile as any animal that descended from a common ancestor that
had four limbs, has a body that is predominantly covered in scales, and (so as
to exclude pangolins) does not lactate.

Deinosaurs fit in this mark and besides the deinosauria as a whole doesn't
really have any characters that can't be found in at least one other reptile.

So there's another definition.
