Endotherms

The video tutorial explains endotherms, animals that generate their own heat to maintain body temperature, primarily including mammals and birds. It covers how endotherms regulate temperature through metabolic processes, physical activity, and blood vessel adjustments. The video also discusses insulation methods like fur and feathers, and adaptations for hot environments. Cooling mechanisms such as sweating and panting are explained, along with behavioral strategies like seeking shade. Finally, the video contrasts endotherms with ectotherms, which rely on external heat sources.
