Suppose a friend of yours is trying to decide whether to buy a pet turtle or mouse. In making the decision, all he cares about is how much it will cost to feed the animal. Your friend says he can’t decide because the two animals weigh about the same and their food costs about the same.
- buy a turtle since they have lower metabolism requirements (cold blooded), compared to a mouse which is a mammal and has thermogenesis since it's warm blooded and will require more energy.
