                                While most fish are cold-blooded, certain tuna species possess the rare ability to regulate their body temperature, a trait that sometimes causes confusion. This remarkable adaptation, however, does not change the fact that tuna is considered a fish, belonging to the migratory marine species of the family Scombridae.
