Adaptions In Ectothermic And Endothermic Animals To Extremeclimates
First of all we need to understand what ectothermic and endothermic animals are.
Animals differ in their abilities to regulate body temperature (thermoregulation). We sometimes use the terms "cold-blooded" or "warm-blooded." Most reptiles feel cold to the touch, while mammals and birds ...
