Tortoises. Thermogram of tortoises warming themselves on a warm surface. A tortoise is an example of an ectotherm. Ectotherms use their external environment to regulate their body temperature. A thermogram shows variation in temperature on the surface of an object,measured by the long-wave infrared radiation it emits. The temperature scale is colour-coded and runs from black (coldest,17.5 degrees Celsius) through purple,pink and orange to light yellow (warmest,37.2 degrees Celsius) | |
