Question

What happens to birds and animals on a very hot summer day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Blood flow into the ears carries heat out of the body, and cooler blood re-enters the bloodstream, reducing the effects of heat. ... Reptiles such as lizards and snakes are especially susceptible to heat and can die after only a few hours' exposure to hot summer sun; these animals seek shelter under rocks and in burrows.

Answer 2

Answer:

Panting: Like dogs, birds can pant to cool down. When a bird pants, it breathes quickly, moving air across the moist surfaces of its lungs, throat, and mouth. This moisture then evaporates, which absorbs heat from the bird's body.
