Detailed explanation-1: -It generates heat by burning the food you eat. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -This involves the ability to cool down or produce more body heat. Warm-blooded animals mainly control their body temperature by regulating their metabolic rates (e.g. increasing their metabolic rate as the surrounding temperature begins to decrease).
Detailed explanation-3: -Warm-blooded animals are defined as animals that can regulate and maintain constant internal body temperature. They can survive in any temperature range as they can adapt to it easily.
Detailed explanation-4: -Warm-blooded animals, such as mammals and birds, were able to maintain their body temperature regardless of the surroundings.
Detailed explanation-5: -warm-bloodedness, also called Homoiothermy, also spelled Homeothermy, in animals, the ability to maintain a relatively constant internal temperature (about 37° C [99° F] for mammals, about 40° C [104° F] for birds), regardless of the environmental temperature.
