Frogs are cold-blooded, also known as ectothermic. This means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.

Here's why:

* They lack internal mechanisms: Unlike warm-blooded animals (like mammals and birds), frogs don't generate their own body heat.

* They adapt to their environment: Their body temperature fluctuates with the temperature of their surroundings. This is why you might see frogs basking in the sun to warm up or hiding in shade to cool down.
