Reptiles is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher first printed in March 1943.It depicts a desk on which is a drawing of a tessellated pattern of reptiles. The reptiles come to life and crawl around the desk and over the objects on it to eventually re-enter the drawing. Although the desk is covered with ordinary objects there is a metal dodecahedron that the reptiles climb over.
