Answer:

It will move to a warmer spot.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ectothermic animal, also known as a "cold-blooded" animal, is one that cannot regulate its body temperature, so its body temperature varies depending on the environment.

Many ectotherms live in environments that require little regulation, such as the ocean because the ambient temperature tends to stay the same.
