Document Summary
10 and you are trying to sustain 80 this is not realistic because you will be loosing extreme amounts of body heat to the environment and you are going to have to eat a lot more: just say you have a 20 degree body temperature and now you are in an environment that is 25, and now you are picking up the heat from the environment , the only way you are going to be able to get rid of that heat is through evaporation and so you will have to consume more water, and that will lead to water stress. Endotherms graph: fundamentally different, have this range of ambient temperatures that animals experience which the metabolic rate is low and constant this is called thermoneutral zone (basal metabolic rate, end of thermoneutral zone is marked by lower critical temp and upper critical temp.
