Detailed explanation-1: -endotherm, so-called warm-blooded animals; that is, those that maintain a constant body temperature independent of the environment. The endotherms primarily include the birds and mammals; however, some fish are also endothermic.
Detailed explanation-2: -All mammals and birds are capable of generating this internal heat and are classed as homoiotherms (ho-MOY-ah-therms), or warm-blooded animals. Normal temperatures for mammals range from 97° F to 104° F. Most birds have a normal temperature between 106° F and 109° F.
Detailed explanation-3: -Warm blooded animals maintain a relatively constant body temperature regardless of the environmental temperature. This is done through the use of internal heat sources such as muscles and the metabolism of food. Cold blooded animals, on the other hand, rely on their environment to regulate their body temperature.
Detailed explanation-4: -Warm-blooded animals are defined as animals that can regulate and maintain constant internal body temperature.
Detailed explanation-5: -An ectotherm’s body temperature is dictated by the environment surrounding it, the animals are commonly and incorrectly known as cold blooded.
