Cold-blooded animals are more likely to adapt to warmer climates. Cold-blooded animals, also known as ectotherms, rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. They often seek out warm environments to absorb heat and become active, as their body temperature directly affects their level of activity and metabolism.
In colder climates, the lack of sufficient external heat can make it challenging for cold-blooded animals to maintain their optimal body temperature and carry out essential life functions. They may struggle to find suitable basking spots or regulate their body heat efficiently, leading to reduced activity, impaired metabolism, and potential health risks. As a result, cold-blooded animals are generally better adapted to warmer environments where they can more easily obtain and utilize external heat sources.
