The scientific term for a cold blooded animal is Poikilotherm it is also ectothermic
Reptiles (Lizards and Snakes) are ectotherms Amphibians are ectotherms
a homeotherm
They are a special type of ectotherm called a poikilotherm meaning they have the same body temperature as their ambient surroundings.
An example of a poikilotherm is a lizard. Poikilotherms are organisms that cannot regulate their body temperature internally and rely on external sources to maintain their body temperature.
A poikilotherm is an organism that cannot regulate its body temperature internally and instead relies on external sources to control its temperature. This leads to fluctuations in body temperature based on the surrounding environment. Examples include reptiles, amphibians, and most fish.
yes, their body temperatures can vary considerably
Ectotherms their body temperature changes with the environment
Endotherms are warmblooded, ectotherms are coldblooded, so amphibians are ectotherms.
Yes. As a rule of thumb; all animals are ectotherms except for mammals and birds.
ectotherms' body temperature change with surrounding climate. hence to avoid exposure to cool temperatures, they hibernate.
