S.N | Warm Blooded Animals | S.N | Cold Blooded Animals |
1. | Warm-blooded animals maintains their thermal homeostasis and keep their body temperature consistent irrespective of the external temperature. |
1. | Cold-blooded animals have fluctuating body temperature which follows the external temperature and fails to maintain thermal homeostasis. |
2. | They require more amount of energy to regulate their body temperature and so their need of food is higher. | 2. | They require less energy to maintain their body temperature, hence they need less amount of food. |
3. | The temperature of the body is independent of the outer environment. | 3. | The temperature of a body depends on the temperature of the outer environment. |
4. | They are easily adaptable to any environment and temperatures. | 4. | They cannot survive in any of the extreme temperature, especially cold. |
5. | Mammals and fish. | 5. | Fish, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates. |
