What is an example of an organism that can control its temperature only via behavior?

An example of an organism that can control its temperature only via behavior is the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara). This ectothermic reptile relies on behavioral adaptations, such as basking in the sun to increase its body temperature or seeking shade to cool down. Unlike endothermic animals, it cannot internally regulate its body temperature, making its survival dependent on environmental cues and behaviors.


What animal regulates its body temperature?

all mammals or "warm blooded" animals control their own body temperature. they all keep their body at a specific temp. while a reptile must search for heat or coolness to change their temperature


Is a reptile cold or warm blooded?

Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. This is why they are sometimes referred to as "cold-blooded." Their body temperature fluctuates with their environment.

This allows their blood temperature to fluctuate based on the surrounding environmental conditions.
