Ducks
Marine Iguana
Warm-blooded creatures, like
mammals and birds, can keep the
inside of their bodies at a constant
temperature. They do this by
cooling themselves when they are
in a hotter environment.
Alligator
Snake
Bees
Warm-blooded animals can remain active in cold environments in which coldblooded animals can hardly move.
Warm-blooded animals can live in almost every surface environment on Earth, like
in artic regions or on high mountains where most cold-blooded animals would have
difficulty surviving.Warm-blooded animals can remain active, seek food
and defend themselves in
a wide range of outdoor
temperatures.
Toad
Elephants
Whales are mammals who have no sweat glands, but then since they live in the
water, they dont really need them. Large mammals have difficulty cooling down if
they get over heated.
This is why elephants, for example, have large, thin ears which loose heat quickly.
Mammals have hair, fur or blubber, and birds have feathers to keep it warm.
Whales
Many mammals have
thick layers of fur, which
keep them warm in the
winter.
