Homeostasis

In this photo we see geese. These geese are endothermic, and therefore must maintain a stable internal body temperature. They do this by performing one of the key characteristics of life, which is homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability for organisms to maintain stable internal conditions such as pH and temperature as well as produce negative feedback to help rectify bodily issues. Without homeostasis, these geese would die.
