Why is it an advantage to be warm-blooded?
Mammals, along with birds, are animals that are warm-blooded. This means they can make heat inside their bodies, and can stay active even when it is cold. As a result, they can hunt even in the chill of the night and live in places as cold as the polar wastes.
