Mammals are animals that can generate their own body heat through processes like metabolism and shivering. This ability helps mammals maintain a constant internal body temperature regardless of external conditions.

What is the scientific name for animals that can produce their own body heat?
Endotherms or homeotherms are animals that can produce their own body heat through internal processes such as metabolism. They are able to regulate their body temperature independently of the external environment.
What phylum is endothermic?
Mammals belong to the phylum Chordata and are endothermic, meaning they can produce and regulate their own body heat.
What is animal phyla?
Animal phyla are major groupings of organisms within the animal kingdom based on shared characteristics like body plan, development, and genetic makeup. There are around 35 recognized animal phyla, ranging from simple organisms like sponges to complex organisms like mammals. Each phylum represents a distinct evolutionary lineage with its own unique traits.
Are birds part or the animal kingdom?
Animals belong to the kingdom Animalia. Any organisms in this kingdom are: * eukaryotes (meaning that their cells have nuclei. Each nucleus is in charge of controlling its cell's activities) * multicellular (meaning they are made of more than one cell) * show cell specialization (meaning that different cells perform different functions) * heterotrophic (meaning that they cannot make their own food like plants do. They have to eat it somehow)
Does animalia move on their own?
Yes, most animals in the kingdom Animalia are capable of moving on their own. This movement may include walking, running, swimming, flying, or other types of locomotion depending on the specific animal's adaptations and habitat.
What do you call a warmblooded animal?
they generate their own body heat.
What do we understand by cold booded?
Cold-blooded - means an animal lacks the ability to generate it's own internal body-heat. They have to rely on external sources such as the Sun - or (in captivity) heat lamps.
What is an endothermic organism?
Endothermic organisms generate their own body heat. Exothermic organisms cannot.
What is endothermic organism?
Endothermic organisms generate their own body heat. Exothermic organisms cannot.
How does a squirrel's body temperature stay the same when it is very cold outside?
They are warmblooded (meaning they generate their own body heat).
Can a chicken regulate its body temperature?
Yes. A chicken is a bird; like mammals, birds are endotherms and generate their own body heat.
Can warm blooded animals live without heat?
no because they are warm blooded, so they need heat!!!! Wait, we have our own body temperature! We generate heat by energy. Technically we cannot live with out heat, as we always generate heat when we move or do anything else with energy. It cannot be avoided.
What do you call animals that make their own body heat?
yes some animals do as far as i know. they use the fat in their bodies to produce body heat. e.g. horses use their own body heat to keep themselves warm.
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
Are peacocks exothermic?
Yes. Both the peacock and the peahen are endothermic, able to regulate their own body heat. They are birds, and all birds and mammals are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the correct name for an animal that is warm-blooded.
What name do scientists give to animals that cannot make their own body heat?
The name that is given to animals that cannot make their own body heat is called a warm blood animal.
Why do turtles have a light?
Turtles are cold blooded, meaning they can't generate there own body heat. The light warms them so they have a healthy warm temperature.
