They have different kinds of temperature. Mammals and birds are what used to be called 'warm blooded', that is they maintain a constant, high internal body temperature largely as a result of respiration. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are ectothermic, (cold blooded), that is they have the same temperature as their surroundings. However there are many individual variations even within the groups.

Do all vertebrates control their own body temperature?

yes they can control their body temperature


Are all vertebrates warm blooded?

Not all vertebrates are warm blooded. Vertebrate and invertebrate are terms that refer to whether or not the animal has a back bone, and has nothing to do with how their body temperature is controlled. Fish and frogs for example, are both animals with vertebrates (with backbones), but they are cold blooded animals, as their body temperature fluctuates with their environment.


What classes of vertebrates are ectotherms?

Ectothermic vertebrates include all classes of fish, amphibians, and reptiles. They rely on external sources of heat to maintain their body temperature. This is in contrast to endothermic vertebrates, such as birds and mammals, which can regulate their body temperature internally.


What are Cold blooded vertebrates?

Cold blooded vertebrates are animals which can't adjust their body temperature by themselves through sweating or shivering. All reptiles are considered cold-blooded.


Steady body temperature of vertebrates?

To be honest i have no idea what a steady body temperature of verdibrates are. My advice is to go to www.google.com and look it up or www.wikipedia.com or www.ask.com and look it up... cause i got nothing!!


What vertebrate groups have body temperatures the same as their surroundings?

The three Vertebrate groups that have the same temperature as their surroundings are Fish, Reptiles, and Amphibians. That means they are all cold blooded.


Do vertebrates have equal sides of the body?

All vertebrates display bilateral symmetry.


Are leopard frogs endothermic vertebrates?

No. They are vertebrates, but Leopard frogs are ectothermic, not endothermic. All frogs are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Frogs are amphibians, and all amphibians are ectothermic, as are fish and reptiles. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.


What kind of symmetry do jaguars have?

Jaguars are mammals and therefore vertebrates, and all vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.


What kind of symmetry does an anteater have?

Anteaters are mammals; mammals are vertebrates, and all vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.


Why shiver after urinate?

Shivering is a kind of involuntary shaking movement of the muscle during the recovery or recuperation of certain amount of a temperature (about body temperature) after temperature dissipation. Urination, although not all, is a kind of temperature release since urine is of higher temperature (about body temperature) while inside the body. Consequently, body shivers to gain back the stable body temperature. I hope this explains understood well. I love YOE DERBOY.
