Ectotherm - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
ectothermic) An organism whose body temperature is largely determined by heat exchange with its surroundings . It does not produce and retain enough metabolic heat to elevate its body temperature above ambient temperature, but may use behavioral mechanisms to regulate body temperature.

Gigantothermy
Gigantothermy (sometimes called ectothermic homeothermy or inertial homeothermy) is a phenomenon with significance in biology and paleontology, whereby Gigantotherms, though almost always ectothermic, generally have a body temperature similar to that of endotherms.
