Which one of these animals is not a homeotherm?
Camelus
Chelone
Macropus
Psittacula
To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the given animals is not a homeotherm. Homeotherms are animals that maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the environment.Let's analyze each option:Camelus: This is the genus that includes camels. Camels are mammals and are homeothermic, meaning they regulate their body temperature internally.Chelone: This is a genus that includes turtles. Turtles are reptiles and are not homeothermic; they are ectothermic, meaning their body temperature varies with the environment.Macropus: This is the genus that includes kangaroos. Kangaroos are mammals and are homeothermic.Psittacula: This is a genus that includes parrots. Parrots are birds and are homeothermic.Based on this analysis, Chelone (turtles) are not homeotherms, as they are ectothermic reptiles.Therefore, the correct option is Option 2: Chelone.
