A poikilotherm is an organism whose body temperature varies with the environment. For example, humans are not poikilotherms because we have a static body temperature (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
The poikilotherm decided to sun itself on a rock after it got too cold in the shade.

Poikilotherm refers to creatures whose internal temperatures vary, often matching the ambient temperature of the immediate environment. Frogs are poikilothermic.

"An organism, such as a fish or reptile, having a body temperature that varies with the temperature of its surroundings; an ectotherm." Have you ever eaten a poikilotherm? (That's funny, jare bare.)
