Endothermic animals, also known as warm-blooded animals, can regulate their body temperature internally, regardless of the external environment. This ability allows them to maintain a stable temperature, which is crucial for their metabolic processes. Examples of endothermic animals include birds and mammals. These animals generate heat through metabolic activities, such as digestion and movement. This adaptation enables them to thrive in various habitats, from cold regions like the Arctic to warmer climates. Endothermic animals often require more food than ectothermic animals, as they need to produce enough energy to maintain their body temperature.
