species that as you stated - feed almost exclusively on ectothermic prey. I think these species are the most prone to the effects of excess fat, and are able to counter that caloric differential in the wild by eating ectotherms. Most ectotherms have on average a higher percent protein content by weight, and a caloric density that is as high or higher than most mammalian prey.
