Accepted Answer

Ectothermic animals are cold-blooded, meaning they cannot regulate their body temperature internally and instead rely on their environment to do so. Reptiles are a classic example of ectothermic animals, whereas marsupials, penguins, placental mammals, and songbirds are all endothermic, meaning they generate their own body heat.
