Which of the following is a warm-blooded animal? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a warm-blooded animal?
A. Fish
B. Crow
C. Frog
D. Snake
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Birds and mammals are endothermic (warm-blooded), maintaining a constant internal body temperature regardless of the environment. Crow is a bird, hence warm-blooded. Fish, frog (amphibian), and snake (reptile) are ectothermic (cold-blooded), their body temperature varies with the environment. Endothermy requires high metabolic rate and insulation (feathers, fur).
