Endotherm

An animal that can generate heat to maintain a constant internal temperature
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep your house warm during winter when the temperature outside is freezing. Just like how you rely on your heating system to maintain a cozy temperature inside, endotherms have internal mechanisms to generate heat and keep their body temperature constant regardless of the external cold. In this analogy, your heating system represents the biological processes in endotherms that produce heat, and your house is like the animal's body that needs to stay warm to function properly.
