cold blooded animals get their body heat from their surroundings. Because

of this their metabolic processes are very dependent on the temperature of

their surroundings. In the cold, they move very slowly and metabolic

processes take place slowly. When it is warmer they can move more quickly

etc. This may seem primitive, but they don't have to spend so much of their

energy bank on keeping a constant temperature. Much of the food we eat is

burned to maintain our body heat. There are tradeoffs in both lifestyles.

Penguins maintain homeostasis through a variety of adaptations, such as their thick layer of feathers that provide insulation, a counter-current heat exchange system in their blood vessels that conserves body heat, and a high metabolic rate to generate heat to stay warm in cold environments. They also have specialized glands to help regulate salt levels in their body when they consume sea water for hydration.

They move/stand together as a big group and then the group shifts. The ones on the inside slowly move outward and the outward ones go in. The "huddle" manages to keep them alive. Some do die because of age or sickness, but for the most part this works.

Penguins are warm blooded animals and they maintain similar internal body temperatures to warm blooded animals in any other area of the world.

Turtles are unable to regulate their body heat. To stay warm they hang out in the sun and make sure they have adequate access to water.
