How do mammals release heat from their body?
That depends on whether the vertebrate is warm or cold blooded. Animals such as fish and amphibians have to be able to survive with a body temperature similar to their surroundings, because they are cold blooded and they can't leave the water long enough to really warm up. Reptiles are cold blooded, but they can warm up by basking in sunlight. Mammals and birds are warm bloded, so they generate heat internally from the energy they get from food.
