For that matter is it also true for all humans to have the same body temperature? (no matter where they live)

O.K. so just by saying all mammals are warm blooded doesn't constitute a true summarization that all mammals have the same body temperature. So then would a whale living near the arctic circle have the same body temperature as one around the equator? While I'm on the question...what is it that actually keeps us warm?

All humans very the same body temperature, which varies by only fractions of a degree based on the individual, not on where they live (cold or hot climate).
Mammals all have different body temperatures, but members of a single species have the same temp. as the other members of that species.
Mammals are all warm-blooded but they range quite widely on the scale depending on how they evolved.

All I know is that the normal body temperature for a human is 37degrees and they say that if someone lives in a cold place they could hold out better than a person like myself who is in the Caribbean because their blood is thicker.Also they would that my blood is thinner because of the tropical climate I live in.About the mammals I think all mammals are warm blooded but I am not sure.

No, all mammals do not have the same body temperature. Guinea pigs, for example, have a body temperature a few degrees hotter than humans, so they always feel very hot to the touch.
All humans have the same body temperature. It is a feature of the species.

no, it is not. Some people have different ones, although most of them have an average about 94 or something. Some mammals also have different body temperatures.

Not true. Human average ia 37 C +/- 1 degree c.
Rabbits average is 39. Dogs average 38.

No all of the animals body functions at different rates and their blood have to adapt to their surroundings.
a person's temp is different from a dogs
