Cold-blooded animals, including reptiles like snakes and lizards, depend on outside sources to control their temperature: For example, basking in the sun to warm up.

Most animals alive today are cold-blooded, or "ectotherms". Insects, worms, fish, crustaceans, amphibians and reptiles—basically all creatures except mammals and birds—are ectotherms.

Cold-blooded animals, including reptiles like snakes and lizards, depend on outside sources to control their temperature: For example, basking in the sun to warm up.

Our ancestors may have become warm-blooded more suddenly than previously realised. A new study, published in Nature, suggests that ancestors of mammals known as mammaliamorphs abruptly went from being ...

In fact, they may have been warm-blooded, new research suggests. Dinosaurs may not have been the slow, sunbathing reptiles researchers used to think. IE 11 is not supported.

The first warm-blooded animals appeared abruptly 233 million years ago, according to clues hidden deep inside their ears. Before now, scientists estimated that warm-bloodedness, or endothermy ...

Cold-blooded animals, including reptiles like snakes and lizards, depend on outside sources to control their temperature: For example, basking in the sun to warm up.

Instead, now, of a single species in a given locality, consider two nearly related steno-thermal species of marine cold-blooded animals, one living in cold seas, the other confined to warmer waters.
