| Endothermy has a high cost in food consumption. most warm-blooded creatures use insulatino to help hold in heat. |

| Thecodnot reptiles including alligators have a 4-chambered heart. this does not guarantee warm-bloodedness, but all warm blooded animals must have a four-chambered heart. |

|
Definition
| cold-bloded animals grow when it is warm, shut down when it is cold, and generate bone and tooth patterns like tree rings. |

Term
|
Definition
| this is a variation on the insulation argument. as an animal grows larger, colume increases as the cube, surface in creases as teh square of linear increase. in other words, the bigger you grow, the more volume, and the better you hold heat. |
