What is the warm blooded animals?give three examples
Answers
Answer:
Characteristics
Warm Blooded Animals
Cold Blooded Animals
Body Temperature
Keep its body temperature the same no matter what the outside temperature is, ir.e. They can maintain a constant body temperature.
Their internal body temperature gets hotter or colder based on the temperature outside. So, they cannot maintain constant body temperature.
Examples
Example- Mammals and birds
Reptiles, insects, and fish (amphibians)
Energy
They obtain energy from food consumption.
They obtain energy from the surrounding environment.
Effect of Body Fat
Fat is pretty important for mammals or hot blooded animals as it helps animals like seals and whales to keep warm in the freezing oceans.
Here, more fat causes overheating of the bodies that may also result in death.
Chances of infections or diseases
The constant heat of the bodies provide a perfect incubator for germs and are prone to get sick or infections.
Cold blooded animals do not cultivate the germs easily thus preventing infections. However, if the bodies are cold for too long they will be unable to fight off infections and disease.
Survival
Endothermic creatures can live anywhere at ease usually by adding/removing extra layers of clothing in cold temperatures. Humans can even survive the coldest temperatures of Antarctica.
It’s not the case in cold blooded animals as they cannot regulate the body temperature according to the environment.
Body Temperature
Most of this category of animals maintain a body temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius.
A cold-blooded creature has exactly the same body temperature as its environment.
Adjustments
Brains get activated for mammals with the intake of food that produces heat and energy. And they adjust by sweating, shedding or panting when the temperature is hot outside.
Cold blooded creatures like lizards are lazy and only come out in the sun for heat to get their brains to work properly.
Metabolism Rate
They don’t change their metabolic rate with the environmental changes.
They change metabolic rates with changes in the environment.
Extreme Temperatures
They easily adapt to any temperatures outside.
It’s difficult for them to survive in extreme temperature conditions.

Explanation:
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.
