Answer;

frogs, lizards, snakes

Explanation;

• Ectotherms are animals that primarily gains heat through the environment.
• Most mammals, including humans, as well as most birds are endothermic homeotherms, while most fish, invertebrates, reptiles, and amphibians are ectothermic poikilotherms.
• Ectothermic do not require energy to heat themselves, and can spend their energy on reproduction, which in some environments is more valuable than staying active in cold weather.
