8 Weird Ways Animals Keep Cool
#1
This is really interesting. I suppose I was aware of most of this behavior, but never put it together as a way of keeping cool.

To me this is a better way, but then I am not a bird or a lizard.

My snakes like to soak in their water dishes. What do guinea pigs do to keep cool? Mine have a fan, but not all piggies have that.

That sounds good. I like the idea of estivation. The trouble with that is the need to hibernate in the winter. It does not leave a lot of active time.
Six months of activity and six months of sleep. That might not be too productive.
