    Ianab, but I would say yes. Even more easily actually since they have weaker thermal regulation. The notable difference to so called warm blooded animals is that there isn’t a separate circulation to head and brain and the associated 4-chamber heart.

    Maybe someone can confirm or refute or give better information on what exactly is hypothermia and how the effects would differ. I’m just reasoning based on elementary school biology.

      It’s not as simple as that there are some cold blooded animals that survive being frozen in ice. And there are some animals that have a bad time with temps under 70 degrees ( my cat but still)
