The way dogs relieve heat is panting, where dogs stick out their tongues to cool off the heat and pant loudly. This behavior is considered a good way to cool the heat inside the dog’s body because dogs do not have sweat glands but sweat only on their nose and paws. Sticking out their tongues and panting to relieve the heat requires a lot of energy and water.
Koalas hold on to the tree for a while as a way to relieve the heat up to 5 degrees because the tree will reduce body temperature. The trunk of the tree’s temperature is several degrees lower than the environment, causing Koalas to hug the tree to reduce their body temperature.
Elephants are very thick-skinned animals with no fat glands, but sweat glands are located at the base of the toenail. As the temperature rises, elephants are often seen going down to the water, bathing in mud, and covering themselves with soil and grass. It is also a way to protect their skin and make them feel cool in hot weather.
Its body has thorns and cannot lick itself to cool down. This one will have a way to cool off by spitting out snot bubbles. because when its nose is wet, it will cause evaporation of heat and circulating blood will cool down as well. This is a heating mechanism of this animal because its temperature is not more than 30 degrees, but the available ground usually reaches 40 degrees.
For cats, most Thais raise cats in the house and let them sleep in the air-conditioned. However, when it’s hot, cats always lick their legs and hands to cool them down because cats don’t have sweat glands to ventilate. Therefore, licking their fur until it is wet and letting their fur dry is also a way to relieve the heat which is good for cats.
Squirrels are considered sun-loving animals that should at least be exposed to sunlight 2-3 days a week. However, when they are in nature and get too hot, squirrels will bring their bushy tail to block the sun or some rain, it is considered that squirrels adapt very well to prevent heat.
Since the weather rising so much these days, those who have pet animals should have water or turn on the fans for them. Different species of animals will have different heat relieving depending on their adaptation to survive higher temperatures.
