What is the difference between coldblooded and warm blooded?

Answer 1

Cold blooded animals have a body temperature close to that of their surroundings, warm blooded animals maintain a constant body tempertureregardless of the temperature of their surroundings. Cold blooded animals get themselves up to "operating temperature" by finding a warm area to bask in before foraging in colder areas. Warm blood animals burn calories by their metabolic processes to achieve their heat. Many people see this as a binary condition (only two states are permitted) and split animals like reptiles, amphibian and fish into he cold blooded camp and animals like birds and mammals into the warm blooded group. There are however some animals in the modern world which fall into both groups. These include the deep-water fish called opah and the tunaIt gets more complex with mammals. Bats, for example, are mammals who cannot maintain a constant body temperature and cool off when they are not active. Echidnas have a range of body temperatures between 77 and 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit . Mole Rats are cannot regulate their body temperature but live underground where the temperature is constant . Bears, groundhogs, gophers and bats hibernate during the cold winter. During hibernation these animals drop their body temperatures by as much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Insects are generally not thought of as being hot or cold blooded. Some however generate heat (Hawk Moths and bees) by muscular exertion.
