Question

What’s the difference between a cold blooded animal and a warm blooded animal??

Answer 1

These thermal infrared images of warm-blooded animals, show how birds and mammals maintain body temperatures well above the surrounding, cooler air temperature. Cold-blooded creatures take on the temperature of their surroundings. They are hot when their environment is hot and cold when their environment is cold.

Answer 2

Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic, or cold-blooded. They are unable to generate their own body heat and thus cannot regulate their own body temperature.

Mammals and birds are warm blooded, which means they can make their own body heat. They can do this when it's too cold for them to survive outside.
