Cold-blooded animals have a variable body temperature which reflects the environmental temperature (eg. fish and reptiles).
Warm-blooded animals keep their core body temperature at a nearly consistent level regardless of the temperature of the surrounding environment (eg. birds and mammals).

∙ 10y ago"Warm blooded" refers to the animal's ability to maintain a constant internal body temperature regardless of external environmental temperature. Another word for this is endothermic. Examples of endothermic animals include birds and mammals ranging from platypuses to dolphins to humans.
The opposite of warm blooded/endothermic is cold blooded/exothermic. Exothermic animals are not able to maintain a constant internal body temperature and have to rely on the environment to warm or cool them as needed. Examples of exothermic animals include most reptiles like snakes and crocodiles, many insects like bees and hornets, and amphibians like frogs and salamanders.

Is mammal cold blooded or warm blooded?
All mammals are "warm-blooded," although that term is a little confusing. Any animal's blood is warm if the animal is warm (as if it's been lying in the sun, say). Mammals (and birds) are warm-blooded ALL THE TIME because they burn food to keep their body temperatures at a predetermined point (for people, around 37 degrees C). As a consequence, mammals (and birds) need proportionately more food than reptiles or fish of the same weight.
