To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Thermoregulation: the strategy through which the body maintains its internal temperature.
- Endotherm: an animal that generates most of its heat internally.
- Ectotherm: an animal that relies on environmental heat sources.
- Mesotherm: an animal with an intermediate heat generating strategy.
- Poikilotherm: an animal whose internal temperature varies considerably.
- Heterotherm: an animal that sometimes keeps its body temperature the same and sometimes lets it vary.
- Homeotherm: an animal whose internal temperature does not change much.
