Homeothermy

Homeothermy refers to the ability of an organism to maintain a stable internal body temperature regardless of external environmental conditions. This characteristic is common in warm-blooded animals, such as mammals and birds, which regulate their body heat through metabolic processes, insulation (like fur or feathers), and behaviors (like seeking shade or basking in the sun). This stable temperature allows these animals to remain active and function efficiently, even in varying climates, helping them thrive and survive across diverse habitats.
