Endotherm

This is a cat. A cat represents an endotherm. Endotherms are also known as warm-blooded animals. Unlike ectotherms, they can generate their own heat no matter the conditions of their environment. If their bodily temperature decreases, the metabolism speeds up to generate heat, or the body starts to shiver which has the same effect. Birds and mammals are examples of endotherms. Cats and other animals have the ability to regulate their own temperature which is different for each animal. Cats have a normal temperature that ranges from 110.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, while for humans it ranges around 98 degrees Fahrenheit.
