This may not be highly accurate, but essentially: cold blooded just means that it's not "warm blooded". Warm blooded creatures have the ability to metabolically regulate the temperature of their blood. So, whether it is warm out or cold, humans maintain a temperature around 98 degrees. Cold blooded creatures'(like lizards) blood temperature will vary more and be colder when it's cold out and hotter when it's hot out. In other words, they tend to take the temperature of their surroundings.

At what temperatures are ectothermic animals the least likely to be active?

In hot environments, cold-blooded animals can have blood that is much warmer than warm-blooded animals. Cold-blooded animals are much more active in warm environments and are very sluggish in cold environments. This is because their muscle activity depends on chemical reactions which run quickly when it is hot and slowly when it is cold. A cold-blooded animal can convert much more of its food into body mass compared with a warm-blooded animal. INFO FOUND: http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/image_galleries/ir_zoo/coldwarm.html

What are advantages of being cold blooded?

Cold-blooded animals have several advantages, including lower energy requirements compared to warm-blooded animals, as they do not need to expend energy to maintain a constant body temperature. They are also able to survive in environments with fluctuating temperatures by adjusting their metabolic rate accordingly. Additionally, cold-blooded animals can go for extended periods without food, as their metabolic rate slows down in response to food scarcity.


Do anteater and penguins are warm-blooded?

Yes. Penguins and anteaters are warm-blooded. Firstly, penguins live in the poles, where there are extreme cold temperatures- if they were unable to generate their own body heat, they would likely die, and it would not be the type of evolutionary trait that animals on the poles possess- as for anteaters, it isn't a reptile, which pretty much all cold blooded animals are( correct me if I'm wrong) so yeah- it's warm blooded


Who is cooler Justin Bieber or Danny T?

Neither. They're both human (unfortunately) and therefore they are both warm-blooded. Though thinking about it, Bieber is from Canada and Danny T from New York - Canada is colder therefore Bieber would most likely be colder on average than Danny T.


What do you call animals that make their own body heat?

yes some animals do as far as i know. they use the fat in their bodies to produce body heat. e.g. horses use their own body heat to keep themselves warm.


Will a Florida lizard survive in cool places without a heat lamp?

Most likely no. All lizards are cold blooded creatures so they need to be warm in order to survive. That's why most lizards live in either tropical of desert climates.
