What are animals that contain a constant body temperature called?

Animals that have a constant body temperature are called endotherms. They regulate their body temperature internally, regardless of external environmental conditions. Warm-blooded animals like mammals and birds are examples of endotherms.


Do plants shiver?

That is an excellent question although it is easy to answer. The answer sadly is no because you need to look at what shivering is. When you shiver you are increasing muscle movement which stimulates blood flow to the area. This increased blood flow results in more heat since we are warmblooded and heat is produced in our core. Cold-blooded animals on the other hand would gain nothing from shivering except to waste energy pumping extra blood to an unneeded area. According to Wikipedia, pythons sometimes shiver, even though they are cold-blooded animals.


Is mud skipper warmblooded?

Mudskippers are cold-blooded creatures, meaning their body temperature changes with their environment. They often bask in the sun to warm up and move to cooler areas to regulate their temperature when needed.


Did plants evolve before animals, or did animals evolve before plants?

Plants evolved before animals.


What is the differencebetween an endothermic organism and an ectothermic organism?

And endothermic organism can regulate and produce its own body heat using homeostasis. An example of this type of organism would be any mammal or bird. An ectothermic organism must obtain its body heat from an outside source, such as the sun, or a heating pad or light in captivity. Reptiles are all ectotherms.
