The ability of an animal to control its body temperature is influenced by its surface area to volume ratio.
Animals with a **low surface area to volume ratio** tend to lose heat more slowly, which can help them maintain their body temperature better in colder environments. This generally applies to larger animals. On the other hand, animals with a **high surface area to volume ratio** (typically smaller animals) lose heat more quickly, which can make it challenging for them to regulate their body temperature.
Ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature and typically do not have the ability to maintain a constant internal temperature independently.
Amphibians also typically rely on their environment for temperature regulation and do not have the same level of control as endotherms (warm-blooded animals).
Therefore, the best answer from the options would be:
**animals with a low surface to volume ratio.**
