Answer:

Yes

Explanation: The relationship between mass and metabolic rate holds true across many species, and even follows a specific mathematical equation. ... Because of this, a smaller animal would need more energy and a higher metabolic rate to maintain a constant internal temperature (in an environment below its body temperature).
