The new study analyzed about 11,000 species to find out how they survived for 270 million years when the weather fluctuated between hot and cold.

The researchers found that warm-blooded animals have better defense mechanisms than amphibians and reptiles. “We saw that mammal and bird better able to expand their habitat. This means they can adapt easily,” said Jonathan Rolland, lead author of the study from the University of British Columbia.
Rolland added, adaptation has a strong influence on the rate of extinction and survival of planet Earth in the future. What is the explanation?
