How do animals escape the heat?

The way animals avoid the heat varies from species to species, but here are some common ways to avoid the heat:

1. Hiding in the shade of trees or burrows: Some mammals, birds, and reptiles seek shade and spend the hot summer months hiding in the shade of trees or burrows.

2. Cool water sources: Aquatic animals can swim and play in rivers, lakes, or other cool water sources to remove body heat.

3. Feathers, Hair, and Skin: The feathers or hair of many birds and mammals provide insulation and maintain a stable body temperature. Some animals, such as elephants, use many blood vessels inside their skin to regulate their body temperature.

4. Change activity time: Some animals, such as foxes, wolves, etc., will change their activity time and carry out activities at night or dusk to avoid high temperatures during the day.

5. Mud covering: Wild boar, buffalo and other animals will coat their bodies with mud to lower their body temperature.

In short, different animals have different ways of adapting to the natural environment, which can help them maintain physical comfort and health in hot weather.
