Warm blooded animals have internal mechanisms that regulate their body temperature, making them less dependent on the ambient temperature. Cold blooded animals do not have this mechanism and so are more directly influenced by the temperature of the space around them.
A warm blooded animal can be highly active in the cold, but requires much more food to maintain such an active metabolism.
Cold blooded animals slow down in the cold and become more active when it is warm. Their slower metabolism requires less food, so they can go for longer between meals.

Warm-blooded creatures, like mammals and birds, try to keep the inside of their bodies at a constant temperature. They do this by generating their own heat when they are in a cooler environment, and by cooling themselves when they are in a hotter environment. To generate heat, warmblooded animals convert the food that they eat into energy. They have to eat a lot of food, compared with cold-blooded animals, to maintain a constant body temperature. Only a small amount of the food that a warmblooded animal eats is converted into body mass. The rest is used to fuel a constant body temperature.
Cold-blooded creatures take on the temperature of their surroundings. They are hot when their environment is hot and cold when their environment is cold. In hot environments, cold-blooded animals can have blood that is much warmer than warmblooded animals. Cold-blooded animals are much more active in warm environments and are very sluggish in cold environments. This is because their muscle activity depends on chemical reactions which run quickly when it is hot and slowly when it is cold. A cold-blooded animal can convert much more of its food into body mass compared with a warmblooded animal.
As I understand it, cold blooded animals adapt to whatever temperature it is around them. Warm blooded animals, particdularly humans, need maintain their normal temperatures by whatever means necessary in order to avoid either heat stroke or hypothermia.

cold blood animals are cold when they in cold temperature and hot when they are in hot temperature; they didn't need high amount of food to maintain their energy into fats. warm blood animals require high amount of food to convert energy into fats.
reptiles are cold blooded and mammals are warm blooded.
They are cold blooded so that means that they are ectothermic. :)
Well, they have cold blood, so I'm going to go with cold blooded! =)
They are cold blooded. All mamals are warm-blooded and all other animals are cold blooded.
All frogs are cold blooded animals.
The difference is that cold blooded animals need to be in the sun to be able to heat up their bodies. Warm blooded animals can heat themselves up without the sun.
Warm blooded animals have their own heating system. Cold blooded annimals don not and rely on the help of the sun to provide them with heat.
warm blooded animals usually have more flesh, and live on land. cold blooded animals are things like fish etc. that live in water
wam blooded animals have warm blood and cold blooded animals have cold blood and rely on the sun to get warmed up.
Warm blooded animals (homeotherms) maintain a consistent body temperature. Cold blooded animals (poikilotherms) will have body temperatures that vary with the temperature of their environment. Mammals (including humans) and birds are warm-blooded animals. Reptiles and fish are cold-blooded animals.
Warm-blooded animals (birds and mammals) are able to maintain a steady body temperature regardless of environmental conditions. Cold-blooded animals (reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, crustaceans, worms, etc.) are not.
reptiles are cold blooded and mammals are warm blooded.
cold blooded animal like reptiles rely on outside sources for heat. warm blooded animals make their own heat

cold blooded animals are called reptiles.
the difference is warm blood controls their body temp cold blood doesnt
Alligators are cold blooded animals.
