Summary Introduction
To define: Some factors that result in a range of energy allocations for different animals.
Introduction: Energy budgets in animals are of two types. They are food energy budget and heat energy budget. For most of the animals, the maximum of the food energy is used for the production of ATP. Very less energy is used for the reproduction process.
