Monotremes, such as the echidna and the platypus, are endothermic. Monotremes are mammals, and all mammals are endothermic. This means that they regulate their body temperature by internal processes and that their body temperature is constant.

A monkey(like all mammals) is an endotherm, meaning it is warm-blooded. Endothermic animals have bodies that do not change temperatures along with the environment. If an animal is ectothermic, it is a cold-blooded animal. This includes all reptiles, fish, and amphibians.
