Summer-saving methods for various small animals.

(Squirrel) Raise its tail to shade itself (rabbit), cool its ears (bee) and flap its wings.

(Rhinoceros) Rolling in the mud (Elephant) The nose radiates heat and cools the blood flowing to the brain.

Open your mouth and extend your wings to help dissipate heat.

Generally speaking, people and animals are inactive in summer. Strangely, some animals rely on local body movements to cool down. For example, rabbits have long ears. In summer, the blood flow in the ears is smoother, and rabbits beat these big ears to radiate the heat in the body. The long-tailed monkey always likes to shake its long tail in hot weather, because it has a special vein on its tail, which can quickly dissipate the heat generated in the body.

The summer weapon of birds and insects is their wings. The continuous high temperature will make ostriches in the desert flap their wings desperately-ostrich wings are their weapons to resist the cold and heat. The outer skin of the wings is thick, which can keep out the cold in winter, and the inner side is bare. Flapping the wings in summer can cool off the heat. Similarly, in order to cool the hive, worker bees will sprinkle water around the nest holes, while other bees will line up neatly at the entrance of the hive and fan the wind with their wings, thus speeding up the evaporation of water and taking away the heat in the hive.

Elephants are the best land animals to swim. They can swim and like to roll in the mud. More interestingly, their long noses are a magic weapon to play with water. When a group of elephants gather at the water's edge, they always use their noses to absorb water, and then spray water on their companions, which is both fun and summer.

In order to reduce the exposure area of sunlight, kangaroos bow down. When the temperature exceeds 35℃, if they can't find natural water to cool down, they use their own water to cool down: licking their front paws with their tongues and evaporating saliva to lower their body temperature. Similar to kangaroos, monkeys and dogs also know how to use saliva to cool down.

The hippocampus is a rare animal that can secrete "sunscreen". Once they feel unbearable heat, they will stretch their limbs to stay still and secrete a red mucus-this is their "sunscreen". This mucus quickly turns into a hard shell, protecting the skin of hippocampus from sunlight. Walruses don't stay in the water in hot weather, but lie on the beach, constantly rubbing sand on their bodies to absorb heat and cool down.

Buffalo. Buffalo hide is thick and has few sweat glands, so it is difficult to dissipate heat. Therefore, at noon or afternoon when the weather is very hot in summer, buffaloes will soak their whole bodies in the pond.

Camel. In hot weather, camels will raise their body temperature until it exceeds the outdoor temperature. This will not sweat and reduce the evaporation of water in the body. At night, the camel's body temperature drops with the decrease of the outside temperature.
