Are marine animals cold blooded?
I don't think so but I'm pretty sure some are cold-blooded, sorry if this isn't really helpful
What are warm-blooded and cold-blooded?
The term cold blooded refers to the way in which the bodily temperature changes with the environment. There are three main areas of thermoregulation under the umbrella term cold bloodedness. * Ectothermy - this refers to creatures that control their temperatures by external means, such as the sun, flowing air or water. * Poikilothermy - this refers to the creatures who's body temperature rises and falls with the surrounding environment. These creatures would be cold in cold areas and hot in hot ones, changing as they move between them. * Bradymetabolism - this refers to creatures who have a high active metabolism and a low resting metabolism. These creatures can undergo dramatic changes in their metabolic rate, depending on food availability and temperature. This allows creatures, such as those who live in the desert, able to shut down their body's and approach a near death sate, to survive harsh desert winters, until favourable conditions return. Only a few creatures fall into all three categories, or use more than one method to control their body temperature. Most creatures rely on one type of thermoregulation to survive, such as snake and lizards lying on rocks, or insect vibrating their muscles in one place to keep warm.It was originally thought that cold blooded creatures were incapable of controlling their bodily temperatures. It is now known that this is not the case and the term is therefore outdated in scientific content today. The term warm blooded refers to the way in which creatures keep their body temperature at a constant level.There are again three main areas of thermoregulation under warm bloodedness. * Endothermy - this refers to creatures that control their temperatures through internal means, such as shivering, panting, and burning fat. These actions raise the metabolic rate and produces warmth. * Homeothermy - this refers to creatures who maintain a steady internal temperature regardless of external environment. These creatures tend to have a slightly higher temperature than their surroundings. * Tachymetabolism - this refers to creatures who maintain a high metabolism, even when resting. This essentially means that these creatures are 'on' all the time. Even though their rest metabolism is slightly lower, this is not significantly noticeable.Unlike cold blooded animals, warm blooded animals tend to fit into all three categories, some only into two. This means that these warm blooded creatures uses many methods to regulate a steady body temperature. Within the past thirty years scientists have found that some animals uses thermoregulation characteristics from both warm and cold blooded categories.Bats and some small birds have been found to be both Poikilothermic and Bradymetabolic. For these and other creatures a new category was made, heterothermy (hetero meaning two and thermo meaning temperature).Although the terms cold blooded and warm blooded are said to be outdated in terms of scientific accuracy, they are still widely used and understood as the regulation of temperature in organisms.

What is the difference between Sharks and Dolphins?
Sharks are cold-blooded, and are a species of fish; Dolphins are warm-blooded, and are mammals.
Is a dolphin a cold blooded animal?
No. Dolphins are mammals so they are warm blooded.
Is a spotted grouper warm blooded?
No. Fish are cold blooded creatures.
Are dusky dolphins cold blooded?
No, dusky dolphins are not cold-blooded; they are warm-blooded mammals. Like all dolphins, they maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the surrounding water temperature. This adaptation allows them to thrive in a variety of marine environments.
