Best Answer

Mammals are warm blooded, reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded.

Mammals can regulate their own body temperature and are therefore said to be warm blooded, while reptiles rely on the sun to raise their body temperature (hence the reason why you see lizards 'sunbathing') and are therefore said to be cold blooded
