Detailed explanation-1: -Endotherms generate most of the heat they need internally. When it’s cold out, they increase metabolic heat production to keep their body temperature constant. Because of this, the internal body temperature of an endotherm is more or less independent of the temperature of the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mammals and birds are called endotherms. An endotherm is an animal that can control its internal body temperature. Endotherms’ body temperature is usually much warmer than the temperature of the environment and usually stays about the same temperature. Endotherms are called “warm-blooded” animals.
