Homeothermic animals are those organisms that maintain its body temperature at a constant level by its metabolic activity.
Poikilothermic animals are those which do not use metabolic heat to maintain their body temperature but take in the temperature of the environment.

All the birds including penguins are warm-blooded or homeothermic animals.
B. Testudo is a genus which contains species of tortoises.
Most fishes, invertebrates, reptiles and amphibians are poikilotherms or cold-blooded animals.
C. Delphinus is the genus which contains species of dolphins.
Whales, dolphins, seals and marine mammals can maintain a stable body temperature.
D. Neophron is a genus which contains species of scavenger vultures.
They are homeothermic animals as they are birds.
