9. Endotherm


This is a picture of a horse. A horse is endothermic. An endotherm, also known as a warm - blooded animal, is an animal who is capable of internal regulation of body heat. This means that the animal does not have to depend on its environment to maintain its body temperature, but rather it can regulate and maintain its own body temperature. Mammals and birds are endothermic. Some examples of endothermic animals are horses, bears, elephants, peacocks, etc.
