An Endotherm is a warm blooded animal; an animal that can create internal heat. Endotherms regulate body heat to maintain a constant temperature. Animals have evolved various strategies to regulate their body temperature. Some animals such as dogs pant while others sweat to reduce their body temperature. In the picture there are two legs that are connected to a human body. Humans are examples of endothermic animals.
