I'm sure there are many, I can only think of a pit-viper. They have an organ that can sense heat. It is located between the eyes and nostrils. This organ is extremely sensitive to even the smallest temperature changes with 7,000 nerve endings.

How do warm-blooded animals keep their temperatures constant?
Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warm-blooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warm-blooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
