Answer 1

A rattlesnake would be considered an ectotherm. Ectotherms are organisms that rely on external sources of temperature to regulate their body heat, which is typical for reptiles like snakes. The other options listed (Red Tailed Hawk, Lion, and Polar Bear) are endotherms, meaning they regulate their body temperature internally.
