No. Sharks are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Sharks are fish, and all fish are ectothermic, as are reptiles and amphibians. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.

Is a fish a ectothermic or a endothermic?
A goldfish is ectothermic.
What endothermic traits do mako sharks and bluefin share?
Endothermic sharks, such as the mako and blue-fin shark, have a special organ which allows them to retain regenerated heat. A ten degree rise in their body temperature can result in an increase of speed and strength. They have a special bundle of arteries and veins which help in preventing heat loss.
Is a whale an endotherm or exotherm?
Yes. A dolphin is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
Is a bony fish endothermic?
Turtles are exothermic. All reptiles are, and most fish too. (Some larger sharks are endothermic.) Mammals and birds are all endothermic.
Are sharks endothermic or exothermic?
Most sharks are ectothermic, but some (namely the Great White) can produce their own body heat. They do this by using the heat produced by burning energy from pumping their blood. As blood is pumped to the body, the blood moving back to the heart gives off its heat which is picked up by the cold blood. In this way, some sharks can be warmblooded, but most are ectothermic.
Are mollusks endothermic or ectothermic?
endothermic
Is distilling petroleum Exothermic and endothermic?
Its endothermic :)
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is a maned wolf endothermic or ectothermic?
Yes. A wolf is endothermic, able to maintain its own body temperature. It is a mammal, and mammals and birds are endothermic. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
Is a reaction that gets hot exothermic or endothermic?
Endothermic
Is vaporization exothermic or endothermic?
It is endothermic. Endothermic is to gain heat and Exothermic is to lose heat.
What are some examples of endothermic reactions that are endothermic as well?
All ENDOthermic reactions are of course ENDOthermic by themselves, aren't they?
