Ectothermic vertebrates are animals that cannot maintain their own internal body heat, and their body heat is a lot like their environments temperature. Oh and they have a backbone. On the other side, ENDOTHERMS CAN control their internal body heat and differ depending on their environment's temperature.

Are leopard frogs endothermic vertebrates?

No. They are vertebrates, but Leopard frogs are ectothermic, not endothermic. All frogs are ectothermic, which is commonly referred to as 'cold-blooded'. Frogs are amphibians, and all amphibians are ectothermic, as are fish and reptiles. Their body temperature is dependent on external environmental conditions.

Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fish are ecothermic, aquatic vertebrates. Amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic vertebrates. Birds and mammals are endothermic vertebrates.


What are warm-blooded or ectothermic vertebrates animals?

Ectothermic animals have an internal body temperature that changes with the temperature of its surroundings. A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone. A warmblooded animal has a constant internal temperature so WARM-BLOODED ANIMALS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ECTOTHERMS.


Is a rabbit a ectothermic vertebrate?

No. A rabbit is endothermic. "Endo" means "internal" and "therm" means "heat." A rabbit regulates its body temperature internally through its metabolism. Ectothermic vertebrates (colloquially known as "cold-blooded" vertebrates) use the external environment to regulate their temperature. For example, a snake (ectothermic) basks in the sun to stay warm and retreats under shade to stay cool. Rabbits and snakes are vertebrates because they have spines. An example of an invertebrate would be a jellyfish.
