Endotherm

Endotherm:
An endotherm is an animal that is capable of the internal generation of heat. In easier terms the word endotherm is a synonym to warm-blooded animals. This word is the opposite of the word ectotherm, which defines cold-blooded animals that depend on their external environment for heat. The photo is a photo of humans which are warm-blooded animals that generate their own heat.
