homoiotherm
Warm-blooded is an informal term referring to animal species which can maintain a body temperature higher than their environment. In particular, homeothermic species maintain a stable body temperature by regulating metabolic processes. The only known living homeotherms are birds and mammals, and the only living homeothermic lizard is the Argentine black and white tegu. Some extinct reptiles such as ichthyosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs and some non-avian dinosaurs are believed to have been homeotherms. Other species have various degrees of thermoregulation. Animal body temperature control varies by species, so the terms "warm-blooded" and "cold-blooded" (though still in everyday use) suggest a false idea of there being only two categories of body temperature control, and are no longer used scientifically.

homoiotherm
A homoiotherm, also known as endotherm or warm-blooded creature, is a type of organism that has the ability to maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the temperature of the external environment. These organisms generate their own body heat through metabolic processes, and have specialized mechanisms like sweating, panting, or shivering to regulate this internal temperature. Examples of homoiotherms include mammals and birds.
