A cold-blooded animal adjusts its body temperature according to its surroundings;it does not produce as much body heat as we do. If its temperatures prove too low, it can prove fatal. That is why a cold-blooded animal basks in the sun--to raise its body temperature.

Warm blooded animals are able to produce body heat, and can be active even in extreme cold. Mammals are warm blooded. Cold blooded animals become torpid and may even hibernate during cold weather.
