Does a large animal lose heat faster or slower than a small animal?
Big animals lose heat faster than small animals because they
have more area to release heat
Asked in Dieting and Weight Loss
The effects of body size on heat loss?
A bigger animal has a small surface area in relation to their
large volume. Smaller animals have a bis surface area to volume
ratio which mean heat is easier to be lost.
Asked in Care of Fish
What does it mean to be cold blooded?
Cold blooded means exothermic, or that the body requires heat
from the environment (from the air, water or earth) in order to
function. This means that the animal cannot produce heat inside
their own body.

Asked in Similarities Between
What is the relationship between size and being coldblooded or warm blooded?
The ratio of a body to it's mass is less the larger the animal
is. A warm blooded animal that is big can generate more heat than a
smaller animal. The heat loss from their bodies is proportional to
the surface of their bodies, and the heat created by their bodies
is proportional to their mass. A cold blooded animal that is small
can stay cool.
