"Ectotherms cannot insulate (stop heat loss from) their bodies and can only control their body temperature by choice."

Explanation: Ectotherms rely on external heat sources and behavioral strategies (basking, seeking shade, moving to warm/cool microhabitats) to regulate body temperature; they generally lack the insulating adaptations (fur, feathers, blubber) that endotherms use.
