Best Answer

No.

Being a mammal, the echidna is an endotherm, or what used to be commonly called "warm-blooded". Endotherms regulate their body temperature via their own metabolism.

Ectotherms used to be known as "cold-blooded". Ectotherms rely on the external environment to control their body temperature, and include reptiles and fish.
