| idk if it is biology but, why are there cold ####### and warm blooded animals? |

i would wait for tiny but i think it might have something to do with the environment in which they lived and their evolutionary history. just a guess though

iirc it is evolutionary like mario said; it has to do with their ancestors' needs for survival in whatever climate they reside in

| I believe cold ####### are reptiles and Warm blooded are mammals. (Mammals can change body temperature)? That's what I learned from the ol' wildlife book, it's a good read. |

I'm not entirely sure but based on what I know it would definitely have to do with homeostasis. Homeostasis is keeping your internal conditions the same in a changing environment.
It's why our body temperature stays at 97-99 and we get drastically sick with a fever if it goes a degree higher or hypothermia if we go lower.
Not sure why there is cold or warm, but I know how they are maintained. Evolution definitely brought them to where they are today as each is favored in their current environment. |

| Off a quick search: Warm blooded animals definitely exhibit homeostasis as their body temperature stays the same in cold or warm environments. Cold ####### animals take on the temperature of the environment they are in. ex. If hot they're body temp is hot; if cold their body temp is cold. Something to do with chemical reactions but it gets complicated there. |
