Endotherms

Endotherms, commonly referred to as warm-blooded animals, are organisms that can generate and regulate their own body temperature, regardless of the external environment. This includes animals like mammals and birds. They maintain a stable internal temperature through metabolic processes, allowing them to thrive in a variety of habitats and withstand cold conditions. In contrast to ectotherms (cold-blooded animals), which rely on external heat sources, endotherms require more energy and food to sustain their metabolism but benefit from increased activity during colder weather and greater endurance.
