Is red tailed hawk warm blooded?
Yes, red tailed hawks are warm blooded. Warm blooded animals maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the external temperature. They do this by generating their own heat through metabolism, which is the process by which food is broken down into energy. Red tailed hawks are able to maintain a body temperature of around 104 degrees Fahrenheit, even when the outside temperature is below freezing. This allows them to stay active and hunt for food even in cold weather.
