Ectotherm





Ectotherm is term for organisms that use external factors to control their body temperature. More commonly, this is equivalent to being cold-blooded. This picture is a snake and frog at the Oakland Zoo. This snake and frog were not out in the open. They are definitely ectotherm not only because they are reptiles, but also because they are basking in the sun. :)
