Sometimes. Very small mammals will have small ears to help conserve their body heat. The exceptions to this are rabbits and hares. Also marine mammals (large and small) have lost their external ears for much the same reason. The exception to this is sea-lions who still have external ears. Large terrestial mammals have large ears as they have little need to conserve body temperature. The elephant has very large ears which they flap for the purpose of radiating away excess body heat.

What can a warm blooded animal do that a cold blooded animal can't do?
A warm-blooded animal can regulate its body temperature internally, which allows it to be active in a wide range of environments and climates. This ability helps them maintain a steady metabolic rate and optimal functioning of their body systems. Cold-blooded animals, on the other hand, rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature and are less adaptable to extreme temperature changes.
