Warm-blooded vs Cold-blooded
Warm-blooded animals, like mammals and birds, maintain a constant internal body temperature regardless of their environment, using internal regulation processes like sweating or panting. Cold-blooded animals, such as reptiles and fish, rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature, which can fluctuate with the environment. This difference affects their activity levels, metabolism, and habitat. Warm-blooded animals can stay active in a wider range of temperatures, while cold-blooded animals often need to bask or find shade to regulate their temperature.
