The Reptile & Amphibian Encyclopedia
Every known species of reptile and amphibian, assembled from named scientific datasets. Every figure on every entry says how it was arrived at, how many independent sources hold it, and whether they agree. Where nobody has recorded something, the entry says that instead of leaving a gap.

Entries
Assembled from six named scientific datasets, each credited on every entry that uses it. Nothing here was written by a language model: every sentence on an entry is built from stored values, so a fact that is not in a dataset does not appear. How this is made.
