Q

What is ethnically sourcing

A

The illegal animal trade is the 3rd largest trade in the wild and takes place all over the wold
Ethnically sourcing animals means that animals are purchased exchanged in a way that is not harmful ensuing that animals are genetically sound bred in favourable conditions and are not exploited in the pursuit of financial gain
Every effort is taken by the breeder and buyer to encourage ab ethical trade and dose not encourage damaging or illegal behaviour

Q

What is endothermic

A

Gain heat from metabolic action product there own heat can produce is own heat but has evolved and sparred to live in cold environment can regulate temperature by hiding the shade hight energy needs require more foods

Q

What is exothermic

A

It cannot regulate its own body temperature so requires an external source of heat to survive rely on external environment for heat use behaviour to regulate temperature low energy needs requires less food
