Is a Peregrine Falcon endothermic or ectothermic?
Peregrine Falcons are endothermic. Endothermy is the ability of an organism to generate and maintain its body heat. Peregrine Falcons have a high metabolic rate, which means that they need to consume a lot of food in order to generate the energy needed for flight and other activities. They are also able to trap heat in their bodies through their feathers and other adaptations, which helps to maintain a consistent body temperature.
