Detailed explanation-2: -Warm-blooded animals, such as mammals and birds, were able to maintain their body temperature regardless of the surroundings. Cold-blooded animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, insects, arachnids and fish, were not.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cold blooded animals are animals that can’t produce their own body heat and need to rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature. Warm blooded animals are animals that can produce their own body heat and don’t need to rely on the environment to regulate their body temperature.
