Ectotherms Surroundings Dont Warm Bodies Living Water Thermoregulate

Ectotherms use their surroundings to warm their bodies; those living in water require less thermoregulation due to water's high specific heat capacity.

Ectotérmicos usam o ambiente para regular sua temperatura corporal; aqueles que vivem na água requerem menos termorregulação devido à alta capacidade térmica da água.
