of thermoregulation‚ animals are divided into two groups‚ ectoderms and endotherms. Ectoderms are animals that are poor thermoregulators‚ having their body temperature determined by the ambient temperature. Animals that fall into this category are reptiles‚ amphibians‚ and fish. On the other hand‚ endotherms are animals that can thermoregulate and keep their internal temperature constant regardless of the ambient temperature. Mammals and birds are a part of this group. Endotherms‚ due to their ability
