A dolphin is an endotherm, not an ectotherm. Endotherms, or warm-blooded animals, maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the environment, which is characteristic of mammals like dolphins. Ectotherms, on the other hand, rely on external environmental temperatures to regulate their body heat.
