Molluscs, which include clams, snails, slugs, and octopuses, are soft-bodied animals with shells that regulate their body temperature through behavioral changes. Their strategy is determined by the variety of habitats they inhabit, which range from freshwater to oceans and even terrestrial ecosystems.
Crustaceans are mostly aquatic organisms with a hard exoskeleton, including crabs, lobsters, prawns and barnacles. These ectotherms move to various depths in their habitat in order to control their body temperature.
Insects are even more diverse than fish, usually consisting of three body segments, six legs, and antennae. Among these cold-blooded creatures are beetles, ants, bees, and butterflies.
Fish are aquatic animals; they do not dwell on land; instead, they are aquatic animals that breathe through their gills. They are a wide category with a variety of sizes, shapes, and colours. Among the most recognizable fish are sharks, goldfish, and clownfish; they are all cold-blooded.
Animals that can live on land as well as in water are known as amphibians. Their skin is wet, which aids in their oxygen absorption. Salamanders, toads, and frogs are a few of the animals in this class.
Reptiles are a group of seven cold-blooded creatures that include lizards, turtles, crocodiles, and snakes. These organisms, also referred to as ectotherms, regulate their body temperature by use of external heat sources.
Animals fall into one of two types when it comes to body temperature regulation: warm-blooded or cold-blooded. Regarding the latter, which excludes humans, it contains organisms whose thermoregulation is dependent upon outside sources.
