Question:
Which will survive better in cold weather, a warm or cold blooded creature?

Phyllis

A warm blooded creature will be able to generate its own heat and will be able to function in cold weather.

A cold blooded creature will go dormant in cold weather and will lost its functionality in cold weather.

So I would say that warm blooded creatures can better survive cold weather.

The contemporary example are the pet pythons that were released in the Florida Everglades by their owners that are now dropping dead because of the cold weather down there this year.

Sincere regards,

Mike Stewart
